PRESENTING NELLY carries a double penalty but Tristan Durrell claims 5lb and she showed she handles heavy going at Newton Abbot last time. Dan Skelton sent out last year’s winner. Chatshow Host won twice between the flags and Chosen Hero has won a point and a bumper. Lunar Discovery also had decent bumper form last season, winning here on debut. Blue Baloo is another to consider and Dangan Cloud led until the run-in over 2m4f here last month so should handle the drop in distance.
