Bendant won at Ffos Las in December but appears to have two ways of running. The mare Entertain Me was pulled up at Bangor when last seen while Baileys Concerto appears to have gone backwards since finishing second at Towcester. Prolinx has been knocking on the door off this mark recently and won't be far away but may have to settle for a place again behind FURROWS. His latest third at Haydock came in a better race and he can open his account over the larger obstacles here. Captain Paulie stared favourite at Ffos Las last month and was beaten less than two lengths but he's a 10-year-old and may not have much scope.
