A tricky finale, though it's difficult to make a case for Yasir on recent form or veteran chaser Molko Jack. The four-year-old Moon Arc may do better now handicapping but Alys Rock has become a little disappointing. No Ceiling left previous behind when fourth at Warwick last week, however, and Glenarm and Milly Baloo arrive off the back of respective recent victories at Exeter and over a longer trip here. TANARPINO has a penalty for last week's win at Catterick but was impressive and should be capable of defying the extra with Conor Walsh claiming 5lb.
