Verdict
Kaisan beat Dibloam to win over a shorter trip at Chelmsford last month and both are partnered by leading amateur riders in this. Strictly Art won one of these events at Ripon in August and was placed at Wolverhampton last time while Affair scored over 1m6f at Redcar last month and can also figure. But it could pay to stick with GENERAL ALLENBY, who won over 2m at Catterick last time and can effectively race off a lower mark today with Will Pettiss’ allowance taken into consideration.
