SOLWAY DANDY looked good value for more than the two length official winning margin at Perth last time. He can shrug off a further 8lb rise in the weights here. Course and distance winner Apachee Prince has something to find with the selection on latest running but Un Anjou reverts to the smaller obstacles off a 4lb lower mark after finishing second over fences at Warwick. Crinkle Crags scored at Sedgefield in March but was never going at Market Rasen last time while Ninepointsixthree landed a hat-trick on the all-weather earlier and may do better than his earlier attempts at hurdling.
