FINAL ENTRY (1) completed a Newton Abbot double scoring by a nose over 3m2 1/2f on latest outing. The retained visor and drop into Class 5 can help despite a 4lb rise. Leading contender. HARDY BUCK (5) resumes after being pulled up on chase debut at Hereford. He won by 7L over a similar hurdle distance at Exeter previously and receives a 3lb claim. Major player. FANE COURT (6) improved when 7L third attempting course and distance six days ago. May build on that quick return and makes appeal. IKIGAI STAR (3) was fifth on the flat at Nottingham most recently. Placed at this circuit and reunites with previous winning rider David Bass. Cannot be discounted.
