There are three previous course and distance winners in the day’s feature. Delusionofgrandeur arrives of the back of a win at Catterick but Baywing has yet to show much this season. Actinpieces was pulled up in this last year and is 8lb higher now. Aloomomo is fairly treated and looks to have been targeted at this having only run over hurdles so far this term but GET ON THE YAGER (NAP), a decent sort over timber, should have plenty more to offer over fences having made a winning start at Fontwell. Last year’s runner-up Wakanda is 5lb lower so shouldn’t be far away.
