The likes of Better Getalong and Voix Du Reve have probably seen better days and Castletown has always been hard to win with while No Rematch has had limitations exposed since winning a Leicester claimer. Guernesey was beaten a long way when second at Taunton but may not have stayed that 3m trip. Restandbethankful has been chasing with limited success but Euchan Falls arrives in good form and is receiving weight all round. The maiden LEADING FORCE makes his handicap debut in undistinguished company and can finally get his head in front.
