Verdict
Dylanseoghan stays this extreme trip as he showed when scoring at Stratford last year but struggled badly on his return from a break at Fontwell and may need another run. CHEQUE EN BLANC won this last year and though that was on good going he's won on soft so gets the nod to repeat the process from just 3lb higher. Big Meadow returned to winning ways on his reappearance at Chepstow but didn't run anywhere near as well at Exeter last week. Mogestic jumps and stays and has won on heavy going so looks a threat while Tommy The Rascal ran easily his best race for a very long time on testing ground here a couple of weeks ago though a strike-rate of 0-17 over fences doesn't inspire confidence.
