DANCE AND DANCE (NAP) won this last year and can complete the double off exactly the same mark. He's only had two runs this campaign and showed at Epsom earlier this month that he's back on track to score again. Wilde Inspiration is very consistent and will make a bold bid after finding Chester a bit too tight following his victory at Haydock while Lacan has only been raised 3lb despite landing what looked a strong handicap at Chelmsford and Marc Monaghan's claim takes care of the extra. Manchestar was well beaten on his only start in this grade but Red Avenger is well up to this class as he showed when scoring at Goodwood in August from a 1lb higher mark.
