Oishin won this last year off a 2lb higher mark and has to come into the reckoning. Bingo D'Olivate disappointed over fences last time but went gone close over track and trip before that and has a chance on that form but CANCAN is taken to show further progress. She finished a lot closer in a novices race at Newcastle last month and Neil Alexander’s mare has plenty of scope handicapping for the first time today. Dancing Doug and Click And Collect have yet to score over timber and look no nearer to doing so.
