Went clear and returned to form down in trip but was probably ridden overly aggressively when beaten 5l in a handicap chase at Ayr last time; effective over 2m-2m4f and acts on soft and good. Possibly capable of better in a tongue-tie.

A winner of a point-to-point at 3m. Third of 11 behind Tommy Combats beaten 5l at 10-1 on his latest outing in a chase at Ayr over 2m (soft) last month. He is wearing a tongue-tie for the first time.

Pulled up with a reported irregular heartbeat in a handicap chase at Warwick last time; effective around 2m4f and acts on heavy and soft. A drop in trip is considered a plus.

At The Races Verdict

HE KNOWS BETTER has been knocking on the door since falling on his first try over fences at Haydock in December and the drop in trip may provide the opportunity required for him to strike. Disguisedlimit finished third at Ayr last time and could step forward with a tongue tie applied on this occasion. Others to consider are William Cody and Gaelic Rambler.

Expert View Verdict

HE KNOWS BETTER is probably the safest option, entering the race in good form and with stamina guaranteed. He might have mad a winning debut over fences at Haydock but for a late fall and there's been little wrong with his two starts since, just getting outstayed over a longer trip at Warwick last time. There's surely a bigger effort in Gaelic Rambler yet given he ran well in a pair of points. Like the selection he may benefit from this drop in trip for now. William Cody is nicely consistent and just below his last winning mark so is worthy of respect also.
