That'lldoboy gets first-time blinkers after finishing fourth in a novice handicap at Chepstow on his recent comeback and should finish closer, while Nemetan threatened to put an end to his long losing run when second at Fontwell recently. Olympian Boy is up 6lb for winning over a shorter trip at the same track last month, but preference goes to IONA DAYS. A winner at Cartmel in August, he stayed on for third in a better race at Stratford a fortnight ago and can return to winning ways in this grade. Tenzing is upped in class after last week's win and Master Cobbler has his first start since scoring over these fences back in March 2010.
