It's Only Business completed a six-timer on the Flat and over timber in 2013 and is back on a mark he's capable of winning from. MYSTERIAL gave notice of imminent success when runner-up at Nottingham then returned there to gain an emphatic victory under Phil Dennis. Declan Carroll's charge has a massive 9lb rise to contend with but his young rider's claim can enable him to complete the double. Applejack Lad has won once in 24 starts but has run well on his two visits to this course while Galilee Chapel won very easily here in April though on soft ground. Glasgon has shown signs that there are races to be won with him and he's at the right end of the handicap.
