Another good prize which has attracted a quality turnout and it's good to see Irish raider Decor Irlandais back in an attempt to make it 3-3 on recent visits. The step up in trip seems sure to suit but JUSTATENNER still looks on a workable mark and is another with a real affinity for this track. He's held by Mr Clarkson on latest running here but has since returned to notch a cosy success and his hold-up tactics should see him in the mix. Boruma and Dr Robin are a couple of pounds out of the weights but both remain in excellent heart and it would be folly to eliminate either from calculations in a wide-open contest.
