Highway Code, Grafite and Numide could all figure in this competitive handicap if back to their best. Salontyre has won over the trip on good ground and is another with decent each-way claims while Pantxoa has been knocking on the door all season in better company, though gets little respite from the handicapper as a result. Dancing Dude and Arctic Wings both have possibilities at the foot of the handicap but OSCAR DAVY created a very favourable impression when getting off the mark at Fontwell in February and doesn't look overburdened on his handicap debut. Providing he handles the going, Philip Hobbs' novice can come out on top.
