Zalvados was due to run at Bangor yesterday so this small field may be reduced even further. Man Of Plenty will probably start favourite having only found one too good when well backed at Cheltenham on Friday, though has been raised 3lb. Red Tornado could figure with James Bowen taking off 7lb while Barman is well treated nowadays and has been knocking on the door again lately. CLOONACOOL could be the one in a tricky contest, however, as he's thrown in on his best form and did better last time at Market Rasen when tried in cheekpieces.

Cloonacool (IRE) 11-2 (10-13) Mid-division, chased leaders before 2 out, one pace before last, soon ridden, never on terms, 7th of 15, 8 1/4l behind Listen To The Man (10-13) at Market Rasen 2m 1f hcp lst (1) gd in Sep.
Man Of Plenty 11-2jfav (11-1) Towards rear, driven and headway 2 out, soon ridden, went 2nd at last, stayed on and every chance when hampered and carried right flat, held towards finish, 2nd of 14, 2l behind Bobble Emerald (11-3) at Cheltenham 2m hcp (3) gd in Oct.
Barman (FR) 7-2jfav (11-6) Mid-division on inside, headway approaching 2 out, soon ridden, kept on into well held 3rd post, 3rd of 10, 4 1/4l behind On Demand (11-8) at Wincanton 1m 7f hcp (3) gd in Oct.
