RATTLING ROAD (5) has taken well to chasing with wins tackling the trip at Hexham and Newcastle before a short head defeat bidding for a hat-trick. Promising rider claims 5lb. Good chance. OSTEND (4) is not the surest of jumpers. Won by 21L at Market Rasen (2m3f) last time and is going the right way so may defy 8lb rise in weights. DARE TO SHOUT (1) opened his fences account at Carlisle (2m4f) last November. Admirably consistent since. Might be vulnerable to rivals with a better handicap. NEXT LEFT (9) drops to a reasonable mark and holds each-way claims.
