Onebaba edges this at the weights but has something to prove over this far on his first start in a tongue-tie. Tiercel also has a shout on these terms but hasn’t raced since May last year while Totally Committed has been off the track since 2017. Pioneering gets first-time blinkers having finished closer at Southwell but ORANGE SUIT wasn’t at his best on the Fibresand last time and gets the vote on an earlier effort at Kempton when runner-up to Earth And Sky, who subsequently won again.
