Plenty of winning course form on view here with Commander Of Fleet, Ben Dundee and FOXY JACKS all having scored twice on the track. The former is one of seven from Gordon Elliott's yard with Downpatrick novice winner and Cheltenham runner-up Mars Harper possibly the pick though Calagogo, who also ran well at Cheltenham last time, is also likely to be thereabouts. Mouse Morris is attempting to take advantage of a 12lb lower mark with Foxy Jacks, who won a Grade A over fences here in April. He hasn't run since the following month but that's rarely a problem for one from his yard, who also run Whatsnotoknow, runner-up to the in-form Aldo The Apache here last month. First Touch looks well in at the bottom of the handicap.
