A wide open handicap chase and Sea Saffron, second last time out over the course can land this with Littleton Aldor and Millenium Mag the alternatives. Jimmy Frosts' charge was runner up behind Littleton Aldor but with more improvement forthcoming he is the selection. Littleton Aldor is not the most consistent but that win over course and distance, his first ever win, brings him into calculations. Millenium Mag stepped up considerably on what he had shown previously to finish second at Huntingdon three starts back. That form has yet to be recaptured but with a lot of dead wood in the contest he is certainly one to consider for the placings. Trampoline King has proved exceptionally frustrating throughout his career, a remark that is justified with his one win. He has ability though and could reward each way supporters at a big price. Sea Saffron is taken to step up on that chasing debut and land this.
