Belvedere Blast will be popular after a comfortable course and distance win a matter of days ago. He is a key consideration but does face quite a challenge off 12-7. VISION OF HOPE also carries a 7lb penalty for a recent Huntingdon success but still looks on a fair mark to tackle his elders. He quickened up nicely to score that day under Harry Cobden and the combination are reunited. He may need a further jolt of improvement but that is entirely possible on just a sixth start over timber. Prospect House and Clean Getaway enter the equation following better efforts when last seen and Embolden is another to bear in mind as he was just under six lengths behind the selection last time when keeping on steadily. A market check on Game Beaaa is recommended with Sean Bowen booked.
