Plenty in form including JUSTATENNER who returns just two days after running a good second here in a strong handicap on Saturday. He did look to have a tough enough race that day but the Davidson yard are very selective with their placing of stable inmates and he'll surely only participate if 100% right. He does have a very solid record around here and is preferred to Coillte Eile, a game Aintree winner latest and likely to progress further after just a couple of starts for the Newland yard. She stays well and handles ground with cut, as does Point N Shoot, a good Fontwell winner latest on a first start after wind surgery. Boruma and Cairnshill are also respected.
