Evan Williams runs four in this but only Timassini boasts recent worthwhile form. Vanderbilt is a pound lower than when runner-up at Wincanton in January but a career record of 0-38 is off-putting. Big Chip And Pin hasn’t raced since pulled up at Newton Abbot last April and will probably find conditions too testing but Kerb Line probably still has some scope and Freedelivery won over course and distance two runs ago. Points winner ANOTHER TUCO has been lightly raced under Rules. Cheekpieces are added and he is dropped in grade with the champion jockey in the saddle so the top weight gets a tentative vote.
