Chepstow winner Charlie Wells arrives in good form but steps up in distance. Lil Rockerfeller and Far Ranging are others trying a longer trip on their handicap debuts but Interconnection made the frame over 1m2f at Pontefract last time. Ofelia wasn't beaten that far when only sixth at Beverley recently but the vote goes to Yarmouth runner-up DERBYSHIRE. Kevin Ryan's drops back down in class for this and can go on better.
