Gyllen and HERAKLES WESTWOOD are both penalised for comfortable victories just over a week ago. The former was the more visually impressive at Taunton but the latter may handle the soft ground better here. Bert Wilson may be coming to hand and is only 3lb higher than his latest victory in March but the remainder are a modest bunch.
