A pretty modest opener but it does feature the last two winners in Aaly and TOKYO JAVILEX. Nigel Hawke's nine-year-old is 9lb higher than when successful last year but his rider claims 7lb and he's been gradually finding his form again recently. Stablemate Acadian also has a squeak while Desert Sensation wasn't beaten far on his handicap debut at Uttoxeter and should be thereabouts if he stays this even longer trip. Generous Helpings looks the pick of Gary Moore's two runners and is preferred to Sovinnie of the others.
