Both On The Cusp and Art Scholar carry penalties for scoring on Wednesday. The latter makes more appeal today as he's proven over this trip whereas Richard Guest's charge has struggled to stay this far in the past. Market Puzzle could be interesting with the promising Kieran O'Neill taking off 5lb but we'll give another chance to GOOSE GREEN. Suited by unconventional tracks, he wasn't beaten far in an apprentices' event at Brighton last time and is now a pound lower than when successful in this race in 2009.
