Tekthelot and Raifteiri are the only course winners on show at the opposite poles of the weights but neither arrive in great form. Heaven Scent has been beaten miles on her last three outings but would be a leading contender if rediscovering the level of her first four starts of the year now down to a workable mark of 95. SENDIYM is the most consistent and reliable performer on show, proficient over both hurdles and fences and has gone very well here the last twice. He also goes well for Brian Hughes and can post a deserved success. Cougar's Gold hasn't really shone over timber yet but it's early days and he still rates a potential improver.
