Kristofferson, He's The Biz and Alikat are the three to look at here and Kristofferson can make it three out of three for the season. A handicap hurdle winner at Ludlow, Kristofferson then had several outings on the Flat before scoring on his chasing bow at Uttoxeter. he showed battling qualities to get up and score by a head and he can score again. Alikat won on his chasing bow at Market Rasen but was then beaten when made an odds on favourite next time. despite taking a little contest at newton Abbot recently, he looks vulnerable and may be outbattled. he's The Biz is an improved performer judged on his emphatic success last time, making it two wins from his last three starts. He has been raised eight pounds but looks a danger to all. Kristofferson can take a competitive affair.
