VICENZO MIO hasn't won since 2013 and has had plenty of opportunities. He's now on his lowest-ever mark and won't get many better chances than in a very poor contest. Ted Bach, 2-27 over hurdles, makes his chasing debut at an advanced age and was beaten in a seller over timber last time. Pottlereaghexpress, placed once in a dozen start over hurdles, is another having his first start over the bigger obstacles while Impulsive Leader is still a maiden and been beaten a long way in recent starts. Soarlikeaneagle's one decent effort came over this track and trip on his penultimate start so he could prove a threat.
