Carlito Brigante is entered here before another trip to Cheltenham and he's always had plenty of pace. Denny Crane has been struggling slightly from his new mark after scoring here in October but Whipless has avoided a weight rise after his victory in a slowly-run event last week when the favourite Flavia Tatiana was only third. Spin Of A Coin had Prince Of Fire just behind when gaining his first success on the surface two weeks ago and can confirm the form but the one to take from the race is KING OF ARAN, who finished fifth, as he was having his first start since scoring over hurdles in October and is only 1lb higher than when scoring here last March
