This won't take much winning and course and distance scorer LEAN BURN can't get much lower in the weights. Suited by soft ground, he's been thereabouts in similar contests of late so gets a tentative vote. Detour Ahead is easily the pick of Jennie Candlish's pair while Catching On may enjoy a fitness advantage over Jonjo O'Neill's other runner Cropley. Come On Annie is sure to strip fitter for her recent third here and rates the biggest danger, however, as both Prickles and Maxdelas appear to have lost their way.
