Nonrunner
Considering he was having his first run in nine months, UPPER DECK did well to get within three lengths of Benmadigan at Southwell last month. He should strip fitter here and is the selection getting 15lb from last year's winner Absolute Shambles, a one-paced second in an amateurs' race at Worcester nine days ago. Jewellery is usually thereabouts but Carhue Princess and Keltic Crisis are likely to find at least one too good again at the weights.
