These charity events are usually best left alone and though James Fanshawe's LANDWADE LAD has easily the best form and should win it isn't always the best horse that lands these events. Six Silver Lane could prove each-way value and Ted Walsh doesn't run many for fun so Approbare is worth monitoring for support.
