The biggest field of the day and several look to have decent claims. Precious Ground won at Exeter at the start of January but was raised another 7lb after finishing a close second at the same track last month and is likely to find a couple too good again. I'llhavealook has to go on the short-list having won over a shorter trip here last month - he's lightly-raced for his age. Lilly Of The Moor also has few miles on the clock and may be open to improvement but Admiral Blake has never won off a mark this high, though just failed over 3m here last time. BUCKONTUPENCE won over 3m between the flags so is worth another chance over an extended trip having rallied into second over an inadequate 2m2f at Market Rasen last month. Mogestic is preferred to the disappointing Storm Alert and front-runner Tales Of Milan of the remainder.
