Verdict
Come On Annie is still creeping up the weights and is now 18lb higher than when last successful. Umberto D'olivate has gone up a further 5lb since finishing second at Exeter but Massena should figure again after placed efforts at Warwick and Southwell and Rior was a fair third at Newton Abbot last month. STRATHCAL is still a maiden over hurdles but races off the same mark as when a decent third to Shalambar at Warwick and a repeat of that effort may well suffice in this as Backhomeinderry continues to look one-paced.
