Suburban Bay and Benozzo Gozzoli could be interesting runners near the foot of the handicap are both are open to improvement. Woodlark Island alternated between hurdles and fences with some success last season while Font wouldn't be without a chance if fully wound-up following a short break. Psi was favourite when falling over fences here last month but the ones to concentrate on in this may be Celticello and THE GOOD GUY. The former is only 5lb higher than when scoring over C&D 12 days ago but preference is for the latter, who needed his run at Ffos Las last month and will strip fitter here - he looks nicely handicapped on his form in the autumn.
