Midnight Mustang got off the mark at Market Rasen last month and did even better at Leicester nine days later - he’s 7lb higher here but can’t be ignored. Gustav was a bit disappointing at Exeter after finishing second at Leicester but would have a chance in a race like this and probably holds Instingtive on collateral form. GOONJIM was produced late by Richie McLernon to beat course specialist Clonusker at Plumpton
