A winner in a lower grade at Taunton, Lets Go Dutchess found one too good at Wincanton last time while I'llhavealook is another with something to prove at this level on his earlier form. Waterloo Warrior is preferred on his recent second at Exeter but PLAN AGAIN gets the nod. He was having his first start since 2015 when runner-up to Milord at Taunton last month and could go close allowed to race off the same mark in this. Jaboltiski may do better today reverting to the smaller obstacles while Ascotdeux Nellerie is not out of this dropping down in class.
