Cabuchon has done his winning on the Turf so far including last month's victory at Bath. But he should still figure along with recent Kempton winner Superciliary. Aiyana posted a better effort at Pontefract last week and steps up in trip along with Happy Families but Grandiloquent and Bondi Mist have gone off the boil of late. Handicap debutant BOLD CITIZEN will need to improve if he's to figure but is expected to do so stepping up in distance and Ed Dunlop's colt gets the speculative vote.
