A predictably competitive affair in which Proschema is of interest given we haven’t seen him since he fell at Cheltenham in November, and he represents a stable that enjoyed particular success with their punts last term. Pileon probably found the going against him at the Cheltenham Festival and these conditions could spark a revival but PARTY BUSINESS (NAP) won well at Aintree under a canny waiting ride and with the first time cheekpieces, he may be capable of defying the assessors swipe today. David Pipe has a canny pair and Panic Attack creeps in at the bottom with little weight. Wbee has won his five starts on the reel but takes a big step up in class.
