Weloof was a clear second-best behind Agent Of Fortune at Lingfield last time. The winner franked the form at Wolverhampton on Monday but the latter’s trainer should know where he stands with AVORISK ET PERILS (NAP), who found a drop back to 7f against him last time having won over this trip beforehand. Parknacilla has been in fine form around here and is much respected, though is possibly a few pounds too high at present. Brains is a Kempton specialist who has disappointed in two previous runs here while Decoration Of War does best on Tapeta and is out of sorts. Roller is an infrequent winner nowadays.
