Dundee has the build of a chaser but jumped poorly at Bangor and was beaten when unseating his rider in a race in which Premier Portrait started favourite but was pulled up. Fergal Mael Duin was beaten seven lengths off this mark at Warwick but Many Stars clearly didn't stay 3m6f at Sedgefield and might be worth another chance. Given a bit further, Tales Of Milan would have caught Frizzo at Fakenham last time. He's only a pound higher so must have some sort of chance but the switch to fences should suit PRIMO CAPITANO, who has been a looking a little one-paced over hurdles. He's already won a point-to-point and could probably have been given a couple of pounds more on his chasing bow. Bayley's Dream can reverse Worcester running with Premier Portrait and may be best of the rest.
