Amilliontimes was in good form in the autumn and has a chance here if fully wound up. Oscatara was in touch when unseating his rider at Market Rasen but has been expensive to follow over fences. Cango couldn't cope with his new mark at Kelso, though has bounced back before from setbacks. AYE WELL goes from strength-to-strength and a fourth win in five starts might be on the cards despite him picking up a penalty for his latest victory at Ayr on Friday - he'd finished ahead of Cango earlier.
