Southeast Rose is only 2lb higher than when landing a novices’ handicap at this meeting last year. Chesterville led for a long way at Sedgefield at the start of the month but ended up well beaten along with Barnay. Donladd won over hurdles and Izzy's Champion has won twice over fences, including last time at Musselburgh. WITHOUT CONVICTION has a chasing pedigree so should be a different prospect over the larger obstacles with Very Patient another likely to do much better over fences.
