It was soft going when Representing Bob scored at Catterick last month and he’s 9lb higher on this faster ground. ROSE OF AGHABOE is preferred off her current mark as Nick Gifford’s mare went close over track and trip last time and the winner has subsequently gone in again. Lavorante and The Domino Effect are not badly treated on their form over hurdles and both make their debuts over the larger obstacles while Dame du Soir has won a novice chase in the past.
