Dundee was making his handicap debut when a very good second to Tantamount at Aintree and there's much more to come. He'll take some beating but it's TEOCHEW who looks the one to be on as she ran a superb race in a higher grade event than this at Sandown earlier this month and is just 2lb higher. No No Bingo has won three times over fences and though not seen since his victory at Towcester in April he's on a lower mark here and has to be respected. Sole Survivor hasn't run for two years but Paul Webber wouldn't be bringing him here without good reason and he's one to note in the betting.
