A desperate affair in which stakes should probably be kept to a minimum. Irish raider Knockanarrigan hasn't shown much so far but Halucha won over this trip at Ludlow last season and Combustible Kate would have a chance on her best form. Bob's Ticket was fourth at Southwell in February but Philip Kirby has a better chance with JASPER MASSINI, who gets the nod. The better ground and drop in class will suit the top weight. Few of the remainder make much appeal.
