D'Jango is back over hurdles for the first time since scoring here in June but is 7lb higher. VOODOO DOLL won off a 6lb higher mark under Eleanor Williams at Taunton last autumn. He’s a bit of an enigma nowadays but could figure in a race like this if in the mood. Bagan has gone up 6lb for a recent course and distance win but Hey Joe may be improving and Present Storm also has claims having beaten Robeam here early last month.
