Sarpech won well when making all at Huntingdon nine days ago but whether his rivals here will allow him the same easy lead is questionable and he also carries a penalty. DOMINADA also made all last time, at Carlisle, and as that was a conditionals' race he escapes a penalty. Megan Carberry takes off 5lb again so he can follow up as 2m around here may be too sharp for Maoi Chinn Tire while Frozen Over is hard to catch right nowadays. Today Please is returning from a break, as is Triple Chief, and the others have a bit to find on the form book.
