Gowanauthat is on a roll but steps up another grade off a 7lb higher mark after completing his hat-trick at Fontwell. Comeonginger is in danger of becoming disappointing as he was readily brushed aside by a rejuvenated Fear Glic, now penalised, at Stratford last week. Ladfromhighworth and Bincombe are both are returning from a break and the headstrong Easily Pleased can be hard to catch right but Willem is capable of improving on what he's shown so far over fences. LORD LANDEN beat Comeonginger and Bincombe at Cheltenham in December. He's only a pound higher and will relish the surface so should go well off bottom weight.
