TAMARIND BAY took very well to chasing with a 16-length success at Stratford 12 days ago and, with better still to come in this discipline, he can see off the challenge of C&D winner Pony Soprano. Sony Bill has plenty to find following his chasing debut effort but remains with potential given his useful form over hurdles.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: BREAKING COVER trained by A Honeyball, Beaminster, 176 miles.
NEWTOWN RAMBLER is in the form of his life and can complete the hat-trick in a competitive handicap chase. Kingston Narcissus is lightly raced over fences and rates a big danger for powerful connections, while previous winner of this Coastguard Station should also be in the mix.

LEADING COURSE TRAINER (20-25): O Murphy (62 wins from 277 runners, 22%) runs CAELAN TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): D Skelton (8 wins from 23 runners, 35%) runs EDELAK LONGEST TRAVELLERS: HOPE RISING trained by Mr J Snowden & MORNING MAYHEM trained by N Scholfield, both Lambourn, 116 miles.
None of the quartet can be discounted but Dan Skelton’s EDELAK scored easily on his handicap bow at Stratford and can defy a 7lb rise in the weights at the chief expense of the handily-weighted Caelan. Hope Rising isn’t one to rely on but rates a big danger if getting away on level terms having whipped round at the start last time.
