Verdict
Ali Star Bert returned to winning ways over a shorter trip on the heavy ground here last month and is 5lb higher. Rostello has been raised the same amount having just prevailed at Hexham on his latest start but LARGY NIGHTS may edge this. The latter won over 3m3f at Sedgefield when finishing well clear of a previous winner and there looks still more to come over fences from him. Concrete King posted a better effort at Ffos Las last time and a tongue-tie is added to the usual cheekpieces.
