Mr Medic is an improving young chaser who may have enough about him to defy a further rise in the weights for a gutsy effort in defeat last time. Red Devil Star lost no marks for his display last time and this course winner and sound jumper merits respect. Both may have to concede their best to POUGNE BOBBI who is dropping in the weights at a time when the going has come right for him. Dream Bolt requires another career best but that is possible, whilst Theo's Charm has each-way possibilities judged on his two solid efforts over fences.
- Pougne Bobbi
