Formscan - Harlem Soul is unbeaten in two chase appearances at this venue after recording a second win over 2m4f on Boxing Day, but the five-year-old may prove worth taking on now 6lb higher in the handicap and being dropped in trip. MIDNIGHT MIDGE has been left on the same rating after last month's C&D second and Philip Hobbs' charge looks more than capable of picking up a race of this nature. Mongol Emperor has yet to win over fences, but is dangerous to discount in first-time cheekpieces off a tumbling mark.
