Harry Cobden J Paul Nicholls, Ditcheat T Owners Group S TIMEFORM VIEW Useful form to win a similar event over C&D in May. Outpointed in a dash to the line at Ffos Las 12 days later but made the most of an excellent opportunity to quickly resume winning ways at Worcester just under 3 weeks ago. Impossible to oppose.

Back in novice company and looks up against it. TFRHHHII BHA69 (+9)

PLAY SMARTER
This looks a penalty kick on paper for WILD MAX, who has by far and away the best form on offer so is strongly fancied to notch his third success over the larger obstacles. Irish-point winner Hard Lines has offered little on both outings under Rules so far but he looks the obvious beneficiary should the favourite fluff his lines.
