Innsbruck has had a couple of outings over hurdles and looked high enough in the weights on his return to the Flat at Chester last month. ONE PURSUIT makes more appeal as he won with plenty to spare in soft ground at Haydock last week and is taken to shrug off a hike in the weights. Bold Duke goes on the ground but is struggling for form and Aviator has finished tailed off in a couple of starts for new connections. Muffin McLeay has finally returned to a winning mark but has something to prove over this longer trip.
