MISTER CESSNA (3) has done well since switching to running over fences. He came up against a useful performer when second in a novices handicap chase at Warwick during November and may appreciate moving back onto a sounder surface off a 1lb lower mark. SHANTOU LUCKY (4) was denied a neck attempting a Class Three handicap chase at Fakenham eleven days ago. Respect turning out again before a 3lb higher mark kicks in. JOE COTTON (7) has been running without winning in recent starts and needs to be included following a good third tackling this trip at Wincanton start of December. KALIF D'AIRY (6) is not completely ruled out.
