Lizzie Kelly gets on well with Aubusson but he has a welter burden to carry on his handicap debut. Saphir River is hard to catch right but Twoways has been in good form and was far from disgraced in hat-trick bid at Wincanton, though has been raised a further 5lb since. Songsmith made an encouraging reappearance at Kempton and should figure if that hasn't taken too much out of him but Prompter has lost his way and Irish Buccaneer may just need this. Liberty One and Bob Tucker are upped in grade but Vivaccio is interesting as he showed a big improvement at Southwell last time. SWNYMOR was a very decent juvenile hurdler last season but has struggled this season in handicaps. However, he's starting to come down the weights now and, having run well for a long way at Chepstow three weeks ago, could be ready to pounce now.
