HARRYS HOPE (7) forged clear providing a successful chase debut at Southwell a week ago. The Ben Pauling trained mare may have plenty more to offer tackling fences and can make the most of being 4lb well-in under the penalty. Top-weight SHERBORNE (1) has not been seen for seven months. Was a good second in a Class Four handicap chase at Wincanton last start and warrants respect down in grade. Previous course winner BEGIN THE LUCK (3) cannot be dismissed after a solid effort in this grade attempting fences at Stratford (2m6 1/2f). FAKIR (6) may show more adopting first-time visor.
