Wagner showed his well being when scoring seven days ago at Bangor. Although having a large weight to carry he should still be too good for a weak-looking field. He relished the step up in trip at Bangor winning easily and should take this before going onto better things. Tweed would have an excellent chance on his form of a couple of years ago but he has had training problems and is best avoided here. Sasha Star has some useful form in selling company but even that form does not look good enough here. Follow The Trend ran poorly on his reappearance two weeks ago after running mainly over fences last season. He is best watched today. At The Double has run some fair races in the past but his trainer is in abysmal form at present and is best left alone today. Sonny Jim has returned to Mark Usher after a spell with Jonjo O'Neill. He has some fair form to his name including a fine run in a decent race at Ascot last season but the ground looks to be against him here. The rest do not look good enough.
