Natural History returned from a two year absence to score at Chester last month but today’s going is a worry. GOSHEN (NAP) will be sharper for a recent comeback run and landed a hat-trick on the Flat last year before performing the same feat over hurdles. Gary Moore’s charge will relish the ground and gets the vote. It's Good To Laugh represents last year’s winning yard but found one too good yet again over 1m2f here last time but Battle Of Marathon was winning off today’s mark on the all-weather early in the year. King's Caper looks best of the remainder.
