Muffins For Tea is hard to catch right nowadays but wasn’t beaten far at Taunton last time. Finalshot is less exposed and should make his presence felt but FRISSON COLLONGES is probably worth another chance as he jumped badly right-handed when favourite at Uttoxeter and didn’t quite get home. Vango De Vaige is tried in blinkers but has become disappointing.
