The vast majority arrive out of form though SUPAKALANISTIC is an exception having won over 3m at Ludlow last time. He has a 7lb hike to contend with but today’s opposition inspire little confidence and Nigel Twiston- Davies’ charge can go in again. Querry Horse managed a fourth at Uttoxeter in between poor efforts while Quasha posted a better effort at Wetherby on his handicap debut. Storm Wizard may also finish closer now handicapping for the first time and Cyclop can race off a lower mark back over hurdles today.
