SOME KINDA LAMA has gone up a further 3lb since finishing second at Sandown in December but he may have found the ground a little sticky that day and is back on his favourite surface here. Charlie Mann’s six-year-old is probably the one to beat dropping down a grade. Wetherby winner Skipthecuddles is heading in the right direction but takes a further step up in distance today. Bodega and Muthabir both like it here and are respected with the latter closely matched with The Tailgater on recent form. Abricot De L'oasis is on a career-high mark reverting to hurdles, however, and Moss On The Mill has also been chasing. But Wings Attract is well treated on his form over the larger obstacles and preferred to Rocky's Treasure of the others.
