ASTA LA PASTA (2) caught the eye when third from off the pace in a novices' handicap chase at Newbury nearly four weeks ago. Fourth has since gone well in G2 company. Improvement looks likely over longer trip. RANGE (1) held some solid form over hurdles. Promising prospect for chasing after easy win in a novices' handicap chase at Chepstow last month. Progressive EL RIO (4) cannot be ignored after wins over fences at Huntingdon and Sandown. A 5lb rise in the weights should not prevent last-start course and distance winner ES PERFECTO (6) from putting up a bold bid.
