Several disappointing types are in opposition here so it may be a case of which one is in the mood. Bring Back Charlie was knocking on the door in the autumn but has won just one of his 21 starts and is still 6lb higher. Be Daring has been market leader in seven of his last eight races but still hasn’t managed a victory. Druid's Folly has tumbled down the weights but was only second at Fontwell last time when favourite. XHALE has had two runs on the all-weather since a fifth at Doncaster in January. He only races off a mark of 76 in this and his rider claims 8lb so all hope will be lost if he doesn’t at least manage a place.
