Trumps Benefit was clear when falling four out at Ludlow last month and races off the same mark. He must have a good chance of compensation with a clear round while Writteninthesand was prominent from a long way on his chasing bow at Market Rasen and finished ahead of a subsequent winner. Alberto's Dream, a five times winner over the larger obstacles, has already placed at Ffos Las and Huntingdon this season while Stupid Cupid won at Ludlow last month and Mr Palmtree was successful at Huntingdon nine days ago, though carries a penalty here. HURRICANE ARCADIO is 0-12 but was second off this mark at Uttoxeter in July and has shown enough to be competitive in a race like this. Love The Leader is starting to look well treated but Seaside Girl needs to rediscover her best form.
