Brownville is a consistent sort but he has gone up in the weights again since his latest second at Uttoxeter. Walk On Al fell on a return visit to Ffos Las last time in a race in which Dr Robin eventually finished second. Allchilledout has a penalty for his recent course and distance success but is still a leading contender along with Wilton Milan, who didn’t quite get home in the Lincolnshire National. ALTIEPIX won twice and was placed four times over fences in Ireland. He hasn’t raced since July but has gone well fresh in the past and Kerry Lee may be capable of extracting further improvement from the seven-year-old.
