LETSBE AVENUE is back on the same mark as when scoring on good ground at Taunton in December. He was second at Leicester in February when 3lb higher and should be able to beat Out The Glen in receipt of 19lb. The top weight finished tailed off at Uttoxeter last month but cheekpieces are added today and he did win over track and trip off a similar mark last year. None of the others make much appeal.
