Markem has been placed in his last couple of starts and should make the frame again granted luck in-running. Prosecco is a previous course and distance winner and was third over further at this track earlier in the month while Catterick winner Cango has to be thereabouts despite failing to follow up over a longer trip at Sedgefield. TOO FOOL TO COOL loves it here and again ran well when second over track and trip in November. You can forget a subsequent run at Aintree when well out of the handicap and Jim Goldie's veteran can add to his tally with Ryan Day's claim a plus. Luke's Benefit could also figure if on a going day.
