Verdict

Character Onesie was beaten 10 lengths when runner-up here in January and was soon beaten after a mistake at the third last on a return visit. NENDRUM has already won twice here this year, the last time 14lb higher than the first. He's up another 4lb but still looks the one to beat. Morning With Ivan completed a hat-trick at the backend of last year and not surprisingly shot up the weights. He hasn't quite been able to cope in his latest starts but is still likely to give a good account. Urban Kode was receiving lumps of weight when runner-up at Market Rasen and may have to settle for a place again.
