LAKE SHORE DRIVE won here last month under Brian Hughes and has obvious claims of a double raised only 4lb. Tokaramore may be better over fences nowadays but was second off this mark over hurdles in March. The Rutland Rebel won over 2m4f here last month but still has stamina to prove over this trip. Golden Chancer stays well but was pulled up in this last year when Lord Condi won off a 12lb higher mark. Topkapi Star looks held by a couple of these and Forever Forward ran a shocker at Cartmel last month.
