Aleef won on the Turf at Lingfield last month and is only 3lb higher while Van Gerwen was successful at Ripon in May, though is notoriously difficult to predict. Afandem was just denied here last time and is only a pound higher while Debawtry didn’t get much luck in-running at Thirsk. Shesadabber could figure if fully wound-up but would have preferred easier ground. DENZIL’S LAUGHING was badly hampered at Musselburgh on Wednesday and heavily eased. That run can be ignored and Keith Dalgleish’s three-year-old could easily bounce back in this with Gunnerside failing to fire when on a four-timer at Haydock on Thursday.
