In the 3.00 I have a fancy that Firth Of The Clyde will prevail. He has shown tremendous improvement for the switch to the bigger obstacles and won a decent Class 3 Handicap at Wetherby last time out. Still very lightly race for a nine year old you can assume that there is more to come from him with the stable in fair form showing four winners from their last twelve runners at a Betfair price of 3.9 he looks good to me.
Shortly after in the 3.20 Hansupfordetroit is the one I like here. Never out of the frame to date in Handicap Chases he won nicely from the front last time out in the mud at Chepstow and if the drop back in trip doesn't inconvenience him then he will go close here. He was a winner over s similar distance at Ballinrobe earlier this year. At a price of 4.9 he looks the value here.
