Peter Bowen has an excellent record in this contest so Book 'Em Danno is expected to run a big race having beaten Grandads Horse over track and trip last month. But the former's stablemate Lamboro Lad has a bit to find with another leading contender in GUESS AGAIN. David Pipe's chaser made every yard at Perth last time and acts on any ground. It's A Gimme won a novice chase at Worcester last time but this is tougher while stable companion The Nephew has a 10lb hike to contend with after scoring over course and distance. Kie beat Lost Legend five lengths at Worcester and should confirm running while Creevytennant made a winning return at Perth last month and may not have stopped improving yet.
