Stick with the in-form Kim Bailey stable at Market Rasen where MIKHAILOVICH (3.21, NAP) can defy top weight.
The Bailey string has been operating at a 24 percent win rate in the last fortnight and Mikhailovich bids to follow up a comfortable nine and a half length victory secured on his seasonal return at Huntingdon last month.
The six-year-old had made a promising bumper debut when third at Chepstow in April 2022, but had shown only a fleeting glimpse of that form in four runs over hurdles.
Yet after seven months off, he came back at a new level when he easily dismissed hot favourite Benny Sliver last time.
He has been raised 9lb for the win but could still be underrated off his new mark.

SPECIAL RATE (3.40, NB) has won four out of five over jumps since joining Philip Kirby and the gelding can complete a five-timer at Sedgefield.
He produced his best performance yet when winning a novices’ handicap chase over at today’s track seven days ago, scoring by 14 lengths.
As a result his chase rating has gone up 10lb so Kirby switches the six-year-old back to smaller obstacles at which he can run off his 10lb lower hurdles mark.
LET’S GO JOE (2.35) can make a successful start to his new career with Oliver Greenall and Josh Guerriero in a maiden hurdle at Sedgefield which should not take too much winning.
