Race preview

BACK ON THE LASH gave a good account when third in Grade 3 company at Cheltenham last time out and the eight-year-old gets the nod to capitalise in these calmer waters. There are plenty of dangers, though, including Guy, who only found one rival too strong at Market Rasen on seasonal reappearance. Frenchy Du Large has questions to answer over his jumping, but he remains unexposed over fences and is worth consideration.
