      Verdict

      Michael Dods won this as recently as 2012 and the progressive APROVADO arrives on the back of a hat-trick. He's upped a further 4lb for his win at Nottingham last time and is preferred to recent Haydock winner Mythmaker who has a 6lb rise to contend with. Honeysuckle Lil was raised the same amount after lending a double with a victory at Leicester but could only manage third at Carlisle last time while Awjab is preferred to Lady Desire on recent form.
