Seven-times winner El Hombre is on a long losing run but has dropped in the ratings accordingly and was only just beaten off this mark at Wolverhampton last week. Cappananty Con was in top form on this track at this time a year ago and has dropped to a winnable mark while Deputise was narrowly beaten at Wolverhampton a week ago and has to be respected. Mobarhin's best run to date was over this trip on Polytrack at Kempton but BEZZAS LAD could be good enough to open his all-weather account. A winner at Chepstow in September, he was demoted from second after causing interference at Wolverhampton next time but wasn't beaten far.
