Italian Tom arrives in fine form and is not easily overlooked, despite a penalty, but Mingun Bell has proved better over longer trips so far. Bermondsey Bob has gone off the boil since landing a double in the summer and CLEAR ICE makes more appeal. He won twice here at the start of this month and is only 3lb higher on his return. Interakt has risen 8lb since scoring at Bath last month, while Whiskey Junction and course specialist Mandhooma also look in the handicapper's grip.
