Grandma Dotty was running well over the trip here a year ago but is probably better over further and scored over hurdles at Gowran three weeks ago. An Cat Dubh landed a Musselburgh seller two weeks ago and has joined Ian Williams while the former Hughie Morrison-trained Fanzine is probably a few pounds high at present. Little Arrows and Sharjah are closely matched on their 1-2 here in March while Waterloo Sunrise was racing at a distance short of his best when just hanging on over a mile a fortnight ago. Teochrios is 11lb higher than her only victory though she'll make a bold bid to make all over this shorter trip but the vote goes to COMEDY CLUB. He was having his first start on the surface and making his handicap debut when almost defying a 33/1 SP two weeks ago and with just a 2lb rise to contend with and can take this for Charles O'Brien.
