This may be the biggest field of the day but few make much appeal. Thepartysover will probably start favourite having won for the first time in this country at Fontwell last week. But he's never won off a mark this high and is giving 29lb to Mikey Legg's mount HI BRONCO, who didn't run badly over course and distance last month and managed to win at Fontwell in May when only 2lb lower. Josh Newman steered Proud Times into third place over 2m at Plumpton last month and could figure while Karl Marx looks the pick of Mark Gillard's two runners.
