For Three has returned a beaten favourite at Sedgefield the last twice now and INGENNIO makes more appeal. The latter returns to a shorter trip after placing at Uttoxeter and the handicapper has given him a chance by dropping him a further 2lb. Ballyquin Bay posted a better effort at Kelso last time and Hashtag Lord reverts to the smaller obstacles with a shout.
