COMMANCHE RAIDER went close in better company at Newcastle last time and a repeat effort would be good enough to land this contest. He's preferred to Bilash, who moves in the opposite direction having won a lesser event at Nottingham last month and the same comment applies to Rio's Girl, a winner at Carlisle a week ago and upped in class today. Both Select Committee and Master Of Disguise have been thereabouts lately without actually looking like winning while multiple C&D winner Mr Wolf hasn't scored since 2010, though the veteran is on a winning mark if able to summon up his best.
