SERANWEN is eased in grade for this after a third behind Master Malt over track and trip in June. Mac Bertie was weakening when falling in that race and looks held. That looks the best for on offer and Nigel Twiston-Davies' charge is preferred to the more-exposed Uttoxeter runner-up Spa Hill. Vinceson was third at Worcester last month and has scope while winning pointer Mile House won a bumper by 10 lengths at Southwell and should make a hurdler.
