Basoda will almost certainly go up more than the 7lb extra he has to carry here for his facile win at Kempton. He should take all the beating again but won't be much of a price so we'll take a chance on the fitness of INCENTIVISE. Richard Lee's charge has a decent record around here, likes soft ground and is well treated on his best form. River D'Or wasn't beaten far over 2m6f at Fontwell last Wednesday and is another with claims but Chesapeake appears to have lost his way and Before Bruce and One More Dinar may just need this.
