Race preview
An extended 2m might not have been the ideal trip for ACE OF SPADES, but he got the job done at Cheltenham last month and is expected to find further progress up in distance. Small Town Kid made the perfect start to his hurdling career when on target at Newcastle recently. He looks to be the main threat, although Sea God, who didn't fire at Carlisle last time having gone well here in May, would not be out of this either.
