Verdict
LEAN ON PETE scored at Wolverhampton last month but is a previous course and distance winner and can land this after another good effort on his latest start. Conducting and Sellingallthetime have not raced since September with the latter preferred having won here last summer off a 4lb lower mark. Hussar Ballad won over track and trip in December only to run a shocker here last time while Le Deluge makes his Fibresand debut on the back of a second at Kempton.
