POWDERONTHEBONNET was just about to challenge the leaders when stumbling and unshipping his rider over track and trip last time. He was beaten only a head at Hexham before that and can open his account with normal luck in-running. Mysteree ran on late for third at Perth last month and has claims along with Aintree fourth Definite Maybe while Irish raider Lagan Canal could also get involved. Mr Satco has his first start under Rules having won a point-to-point in February and Central Flame looks best of the rest on his earlier fourth at Hexham.
