A decent prize has attracted a big field for this staying handicap. Fredo attempts to follow up his Huntingdon victory under a penalty but McCoy is replaced in the saddle by a 5lb claimer. The champ has also passed up the opportunity to partner American Legend again for Jonjo O'Neill. Loughalder has 6lb more to carry than when successful last year but Leg Iron was tailed off that day and has been pulled up in two of his last three starts. Tales Of Milan was due to run at Sandown on Friday but did finish ahead of Premier Portrait over hurdles here last month. Old stager Incentivise won over course and distance in December and rarely runs a bad race but there wouldn't a lot between the 12-year-old and QULINTON on Bangor running and it could be the latter's turn today. Adrenalin Flight and Reblis are difficult to catch right but both are out-and-out stayers who could figure if in the mood along with Taunton specialist Milosam.
