Remastered made a winning debut over fences when successful at Carlisle and has undergone wind surgery subsequently. He edges this at the weights with DEMACHINE penalised 10lb but the latter has won both outings in novice handicap chases, including over today’s trip at Ascot last time, and Kerry Lee’s charge may prove best in a tight contest. Baron De Midleton has something to find with both of today’s rivals on these terms though wasn’t beaten far when runner-up at Newcastle recently.
