Royal Debutante won nicely at Market Rasen but is upped 10lb for this. Buble and Overtheedge were both placed in different races at the same meeting as the former but Alto Des Mottes has failed to complete a couple of subsequent starts since winning over fences at Newcastle in January. WORKBENCH has been competing over fences in higher grade contests than this. Dan Skelton's charge gets another chance back over timber today give he can race off a much lower mark with a conditional taking a further 7lb off his back.
