Nesno ran well on his seasonal reappearance and can improve to win this and reverse form with Dechiper while Titinius is another to note. The selection was quite frustrating to follow last season but showed his well being when third behind Dechiper over course and distance last time out. The last named is now three pounds higher for that success so there is a turn around of two pounds between them. Considering Nesno was beaten just over half a length that two pound turn around in the weights should work in his favour. Titinius has place claims on his recent effort at Carlisle when second to Rainbow Zest so is worth noting in the market. But for the winner we return to Nesno.
