AUSSIE ANDRE (NAP) makes the trip up from Newmarket after winning his maiden at Kempton last month. Jeremy Noseda's charge can make the journey worthwhile by getting the better of Esteaming. The latter drops back down in class having run well for second at Musselburgh last time when well ahead of Aramist. Clear Spell moves in the opposite direction on his return having gone close in a less competitive race in October and Notarised and Swynmor have both looked in the handicapper's grip since last winning.
