Few are likely to get into this on the evidence so far. Moorlands George is the obvious one but has shot up the weights recently and may struggle conceding 4lb to thorough stayer RAILWAY STORM, who was beaten less than a length over course and distance on his latest start. Conas Taoi arrives off the back of a win at Worcester and The Cat's Away and Where'd Ya Hide It have each-way claims. A Keen Sense has one piece of form which gives him a squeak and a visor might give him a boost.
