Verdict
Bo Dancer comes into this in better form than anything else but takes a step up in trip and class here and may not be up to the task. Noel's Pride has been done few favours by the handicapper since his last win and was very disappointing last time so may be best watched. More solid claims are perhaps held by dual winner Commanche Wind and course specialist Fatehalkhair, who comes here fit from the flat. Sailor Jack faces a stiff task on his reappearance.
