Inoui Machin is penalised for winning at Doncaster while High Treason made a promising start when runner-up at Ffos Las. The drop down to 1m7f at Wincanton wasn’t in PIC ROC’s favour last time but he kept on well for third and should be thereabouts at the finish once again. Divilskin returned a losing favourite at Southwell but has undergone a breathing operation since while Duc Du Rene looked likely to finish runner-up here when falling in the closing stages of bumper on his debut.
