The market may be a good guide in this with almost half the field having their first run over fences. Presenting Lisa is a free-going sort and she didn't enjoy a contested lead at Newton Abbot last time. Salto Chisco was tailed off at Worcester in June after winning at Fakenham while Empty The Tank was beaten when coming to grief at the last at Fontwell. Volvalien makes his debut for Brian Ellison so we'll take a punt on FLASHMAN, who will enjoy the ground and looks the type for a race like this. Quantum Of Solace didn't beat much over hurdles at Uttoxeter last month but is preferred to Fields of Glory of the others.
