Mtpockets still looks to be in the handicapper's grip while Taunton fourth Round Tom may also be a shade high in the weights. Borero and Constant Cupid have been handed big weight rises for recent wins at Wetherby and Hereford respectively but Divy has only been put up 3lb after finishing second at Huntingdon and won't be far away if building on that effort here. Extreme Impact should strip fitter for his comeback run at Leicester but this looks a good opportunity for GUNNA BE A DEVIL to get off the mark. Jeremy Scott's gelding was a fair third at Bangor last time when fitted with a tongue tie and a repeat of that run would make him hard to beat in this.
