Captain Mcgarry made a winning debut in bumpers back in 2017 and is related to winners over hurdles while Affluence won on the all-weather at Lingfield recently and is preferred to Arcadian Sea and Ledbury of those arriving from the Flat. Isaac Wonder finished closer at Warwick without threatening and it would be no surprise to see better efforts from both Locker Room Talk and Pond Road but ACE VENTURA gets another chance. The latter struggled on fast going at Catterick last time but there was cut in the ground when third at Market Rasen before that and Oliver Greenall’s charge gets the vote on that form.
