SPREADABLE is one of the more obvious contenders. He recorded a double when landing the odds with the minimum of fuss at Wolverhampton on Monday and can defy a double penalty in his current form. Fruit Pastille showed a big improvement over 6f here last time and looks set to make a bold bid on her handicap debut while Basil Berry is back on a winning mark after last month's third over track and trip. Tanojin is another to consider, along with unlucky recent course and distance runner-up Ain't No Surprise.
