This looks a very weak affair and Sacco D'Oro has had plenty of chances while Whitcombe Spirit is completely void of pace. Lean Burn was engaged to run yesterday at Bangor but Petroupetrov would have a chance if a shocking effort at Hereford last time were ignored. Tim Vaughan also run LANDENSTOWN STAR, however, and he looks the stable pick if able to translate his recent form over fence to hurdles. I Know The Code was third at Towcester on his latest start and looks the pick of the remainder ahead of Dalrymple.
