Anthony Honeyball maintains a good record at this venue and SMART CASUAL (4) could provide a first success after managing a runner-up effort in a handicap chase at Lingfield on his second fences start. Can defy a 1lb climb in weights with more progress likely. Dropping back to 2m1f looks an interesting move for DIPLOMATIC ASH (1) on the back of his third-placed finish in a handicap chase here last month. EXTRAORDINARY MAN (3) produced a sound second tackling fences at Southwell in this grade two starts ago and remains of note adopting first-time cheekpieces. MISS FEDORA (5) might also feature.
