Noble Call bids to follow up a recent Bangor success off a 7lb higher mark while Summer Storm could be interesting on his first start for new connections. Worcester third Faith Jicaro is the only previous course and distance winner in the line-up and Fred Le Macon is usually thereabouts in this grade, though has yet to notch a victory in 22 career starts. KING'S CHORISTER occasionally pops up in races like this and was second last year when 13lb higher. Mikey Ennis should be able to claim his full allowance so he gets a tentative vote.
