Trail-blazer ABATE missed the break on his only previous run in a handicap. He stayed on well to make most over 6f at Ripon 10 days ago and this intermediate distance should suit. Princess Power could figure tried in a visor as she has form at a higher level. Most of the others have a chance of sorts, though James Watt has proved frustrating to follow and Thegreatestshowman is probably still a couple of pounds too high.
