PASSING KATE (3) can put her head back in front after proving unable to get competitive in a recent chase here down to 2m. She is a previous winner over the distance with five wins in total and with first time headgear enlisted a big effort is expected. IMPERIAL BEDE (1) must be feared off the back of a 1. 5L win at Catterick two weeks back where jumped well. Not unduly penalised and cheekpieces maintained. ZESTFUL HOPE (2) won this contest last year. Must step up on latest form. Delivered only one run of substance this season. ZACONY REBEL (5) will have something to find. Did place here providing last visit to the track.
