Guydus will need to improve again having won at Wincanton on her reappearance. Both placed horses have let the form down since and she's 6lb higher today. Handtheprizeover won at Kempton last October on the back of a layoff and may figure but the vote goes to ANOTHER TRUMP. His latest third may have come too soon after scoring at Huntingdon and this longer trip is expected to suit. Ballyvoneen got no further than the first fence last time but rattled up a hat-trick early this year while Huckleberry's winning streak came to end off today's mark at Cartmel back in June. Delgany Gunner and Plum Pudding could make the frame if back to their best.
