This is a poor contest but it's attracted the biggest field of the evening. Dubh Eile won a bumper at Gowran last summer and finally showed something over hurdles at Southwell last time. She has to go on the short-list along with last year's Towcester winner Toe To Toe, though the latter might need this. Moncarno is unexposed and makes his handicap debut but BUSINESSMONEY JUDI gets the nod. Alice Mills' mount has won around here in the past and her third to Light Of Broadway off a higher mark at Chepstow in February is the best recent form on offer.
