Verdict
Last year’s winner Max Dynamo is fitted with a tongue-tie after he was pulled up on his belated reappearance - a repeat victory would not be a huge surprise. Puppet Warrior showed a bit more at Hereford last month while Mahler's First found only one too good at Uttoxeter. Imperial Nemesis is capable in this grade but hard to catch right so we’ll take a chance on the fitness of SEASIDE GIRL, who is only 3lb higher than when scoring at Fontwell last summer.
