Baccalaureate took advantage of a slide down the weights when scoring by six lengths at Hexham last time. He should still figure, despite an 8lb rise, and Gud Day has also slipped down to a decent mark judged on his latest second at Bangor. Tornade D'estruval can race off a lower mark back over the smaller obstacles but TINSELTOWN looks the one to beat. He's a winner without a penalty having landed a conditionals' race over course and distance recently and can follow up with the champion jockey taking over the reins.
