L'Es Fremantle won this back in 2018, his only success on the track in 36 starts. Radetzky March completed a double in February but is a massive 16lb higher than his last winning mark though Lewis Dobb reduces his weight by 7lb. Winning point-to-pointer Another Mystery jumped poorly at Fakenham so did well to finish as close as he did but GANDHI MAKER (NAP) looks the one to beat. He just failed to land a gamble at Ayr when, after attempting to make all, a blunder at the third-last stopped him in his tracks though he was still only beaten just over two lengths. Bells Of Stamford scored over hurdles at Ayr in May and ran well on his reappearance at Fakenham so is interesting on his chasing debut.
