MY NAME IS RIO carried a big weight when just missing out at Doncaster 10 days ago and can go one better in this. One Boy won off a similar mark in Ireland last season and could figure while Goninodaethat does all his winning here but over longer trips so far and finished behind third-placed Bunce over 6f last time. The latter is back on a winning mark but Grandad's World continues to struggle despite sliding further down the weights.
