Waynesworld is on a roll and can score again at the expense of Kosmos Bleu, Galtee View and Tanterari. Michael Scudamore has placed Waynesworld to good effect so far this season, the eight-year-old alternating between hurdles and fences to land his last four races. He now lines up back over the bigger obstacles after his latest success over timber at Worcester, and has to contend with a mark of 113, but he is in such good heart that you would not put it past him doing the business again. Kosmos Bleu is also in good form, having won his last two starts, at Wincanton and here last time when he was most impressive. He appears over his jumping problems and despite a step up in trip and topweight, can give the selection most to do. Galtee View has been given a rest since flopping at Cartmel in July, and remains interesting on earlier form, while Tanterari was pulled up as though something was amiss on his belated return at Newton Abbot and has claims on last year's form. Music To My Ears has not paid to follow at all, unlike Waynesworld who can make the most of the weight that he receives from Kosmos Bleu.
