Echo Watt has been well beaten in both starts so far this season but was a winner on heavy ground at Bangor around this time last year. ALKOPOP (NAP) was tiring when falling at Wetherby on his fencing bow but had jumped well up to that point. Providing that experience has not left a mark, Toby Lawes’ eight-year-old has more scope than the majority of these. Eleanor Bob is back in the right grade after running in a Listed race at Aintree and Red Lion Lad still has time on his side. Fairlawn Flyer has gone up 7lb for winning in lesser company over track and trip seven weeks ago but can still make his presence felt.
