Zanstra, third at Kempton after scoring at Huntingdon, and PRESENT MAN can fight out the finish of this novices' handicap with preference for the latter. For some reason, Paul Nicholls' charge didn't fire at Wincanton last time but he's 10lb better off with Max Forte than when the top weight beat him at that track in October and can recoup losses. Minellacelebration's amateur rider can claim 7lb and that puts Katy Price's consistent six-year-old in the picture but Going For Broke and Mighty Leader have had a break since disappointing last time.
