Race preview
Last-time-out Taunton winner ABINGWORTH has improved with each run over fences and a 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent Gary Moore's gelding from completing a double. Couldbeaweapon was still in contention when unseating his rider at the third-last at Southwell recently and the six-year-old shouldn't be far away if none the worse for that mishap. Missed Tee may fare best of the remainder.
