Harry Fry has two entries at opposite ends of the handicap. Acting Lass looked a really smart prospect when completing a hat-trick at Ascot in January but didn't enjoy the quicker ground when stepping up to this trip in a Grade 3 handicap at Kempton. That didn't look her form though she'll need to do very much better here. Onefortheroadtom looks to be improving and looked to be suited by this sort of trip when travelling well before falling at Ayr. He looks well handicapped and should get into the frame though this could be another for Willie Mullins with BELLOW MOME. A debut winner over fences at Thurles, he's been mixing it in very strong company and was there with every chance throughout in the Irish National before weakening from 2 out. Swingbridge doesn't look badly handicapped but last year's winner Heron Heights has only had one subsequent run when well beaten a month later.
