South Wing looks to be facing a stiff task under top weight here, while Honorary Title is probably best watched on his first start since April 2010. Glingerbank still looks too high in the weights, while Baccalaureate has been beaten in sellers lately and this looks on the sharp side for Scots Dragoon, though he is well treated over hurdles nowadays. Neither Los Nadis nor GRANDAD BILL have shown much over hurdles lately but both are recent winners on the Flat and it's the latter, now 11lb lower than when scoring at Musselburgh in February last year, who gets the vote.
