Mwaleshi is two from two at the track and still has the scope to thrive at this level. Doeslessthanme is more exposed but will strip fitter for his third at Fontwell and Cedre Bleu is capable of running well after a break, though has his first start today for Charlie Mann. Viva Colinia hasn't won for a while but isn't badly treated and will find this easier than the Grade 2 he contested at Aintree last Saturday. TRUSTAN TIMES (NAP) could find this on the sharp side having finished third in the Scottish National when last seen. But he has a touch of class and goes well fresh so we'll take Tim Easterby's charge to come out on top.
