MASTER OF DISGUISE comes out best at the weights and arrives in fine form having won a similar event at Wolverhampton last time. He had Lucky Art just behind on that occasion and looks capable of following up here with Grandmas Dream the biggest threat. The latter scored at Brighton earlier this month and was successful in a claimer at Kempton before that. Fol Hollow is good enough to win but failed to land the odds when last seen in this company, while Oldjoesaid would go close on his best form but has gone off the boil lately.
