Nothing leaps off the page and the tentative nod goes to WASNTME with Guns Of Love and Walsingham making it to the shortlist. Colin Tizzard's gelding makes his handicap debut today after some less than spectacular runs. He now has a basement mark of 85 to work from, has a talented conditional on-board, and this former point-to-point winner could run well at rewarding odds. Lord Alphieross appears to be a brave man's ride, whilst One Dream has one good bit of form on his reappearance but nothing since. Guns Of Love has a nice racing weight and comes into the race in good form; however he is yet to win in 18 starts. Fellow feather-weight All Sonsilver has experience on his side and shaped much better last month, but whilst Aheadofhistime must be considered at a track he runs well, it is Wasntme who is selected.
