Sunny Ledgend continues to perform with credit and will be difficult to keep out of a places again under his regular partner. King Of Glory has shown enough over timber to get into the action on just his third start over fences while Valid Point will have needed his recent run and looks well enough treated to prove a threat, though the vote goes to TAFIKA. Paul Webber's veteran has a course and distance victory to his credit and was having his first start since March when runner-up at Southwell last month. Vujiyama won a novices' handicap at Southwell in October and, if handling this much more testing going, should make his presence felt as he's only 5lb higher.
