This looks something of a lottery. Dr Des finished ahead of Auenwirbel when second at Uttoxeter looking to exploit a slide down the weights but BLUMEN GLORY also found only one too good at Southwell last time and should be in the mix once again off his current mark fitted with a tongue-tie today. Pottlerath and Banana Joe placed in their respective divisions of the same race at Doncaster recently while Trixster posted a better effort when third at Ludlow. On The Bandwagon may improve for this longer trip while both Shot Boii and Fortyfive Wes make their handicap debuts.
