Robin Des Mana is 7lb higher than when last seen winning here in July last year while Boagrius often flatters to deceive and hasn’t won in more than three years. Dunbar broke his duck at Ffos Las last month, however, and is only 3lb higher while Ben Buie was in good form around the turn of the year. ENRICHISSANT has undoubtedly been disappointing since winning at Huntingdon more than two years ago but he surely can’t get any lower in the weights and led until approaching the last recently at Fontwell. Across The Channel also warrants a mention.
