Aislabie has been placed twice on the Tapeta at Newcastle in recent weeks and looks a progressive type so should be kept on the right side. Does It In Style is a half-brother to a winning bumper while Walsingham Grange scored on heavy ground at Nottingham in April and made a reasonable start over timber at Bangor. FIDUX has won twice in minor company on the Flat in France and his stable have done superbly with similar types in the past so he's taken to make a successful debut in a race that shouldn't take much winning. Boethius made a poor start at Ludlow while Marbeth was beaten a long way when third of four at Musselburgh.
