Rossetti won this off a 7lb higher mark last year but doesn’t arrive in the same form this time around. Cause Toujours is open to further improvement after getting off the mark at Kempton but is up against seasoned handicappers here. All Set To Go ran well at Haydock before disappointing at Newton Abbot but still has something to find with ASHKOUL. Dan Skelton’s five-year-old is possibly better on ground with some give but his run in the Swinton Hurdle showed he handles a quicker surface and he can actually race off a lower mark here. Mystic Sky could be a danger if a visor has the desired effect but this company may prove too hot for Bangor scorer Innocent Touch.
