A desperate affair for which the market should be a good guide. Reyno's close second to Dream Bolt at Worcester is probably the best recent form but he has to concede weight all round. RYE HOUSE can race off the same mark as when a close second to Grams And Ounces at Ludlow. That was his best effort so far over timber and he may be improving so gets the nod as veteran Sweet World probably needs some help from the handicapper to get his head back in front. Vertueux could be interesting with a recent spin on the Flat under his belt while Guanciale is another who could figure if fully wound up.
