Classic Tune is the only course winner and has won from much higher marks so is no forlorn hope to add to his two career victories. KAZONTHERAZZ had the pace to score over 2m in the summer and the stamina to land a 2m6f handicap at Uttoxeter last month. She's up 5lb but looks the one to beat. Winning bumper Independence stepped up to 2m3f at Taunton and very nearly gained his first success over timber while Supasunrise makes his handicap debut over a longer trip and is one to note. Major Robinson is 0-10 over timber and needs to improve while Dr Oakley has struggled since scoring at Wincanton in February 2020 though is back on the same mark.
