Verdict
Uttoxeter winner Bowenspark and the returning Masaccio both carry penalities and there are a few in this who could take advantage of the weight concession. Much Too Dear has come up against decent opposition in two runs here and Katate Dori made a promising start in Listed company at Cheltenham last month but Beachcomber will need to settle better than he did when fourth at Carlisle. The €110,000 purchase DON’T TELL SU is bred for jumping and longer trips but he is out of a bumper winner so should have the pace for this. East Bridge cost €90,000 and is bred to win races so is worth a market check.
