Kilfinichen Bay got back to winning ways at Warwick last month. He's only 3lb higher but still looks vulnerable conceding weight all round. No Planning has won off a higher mark but usually needs a race or two to put him straight, though easily beat One For Arthur on heavy going at Ayr in the spring. Pena Dorada and Scotswell are previous course winners but this may be too tough for Presented and Cyclop. BALLYROCK dotted at Southwell on only his third start over fences and can follow up here, despite a 13lb hike in the weights.
