DYNAMIC DRIVE came here for a similar class handicap last month and gained a convincing victory so a 7lb rise shouldn't pose too many problems. Lysino was 12l back in fourth but is 8lb better off and that was his first start since March though Iktiview was beaten a long way and looks held. Kayalar is still a maiden over jumps and his best run came on fast ground. Amir Pasha is fast approaching his 100th career start and hasn't been running badly in staying events on the Flat but Broctune Papa Gio followed a novices' handicap victory at Doncaster with a very poor run at Southwell where he jumped poorly. However, he's been running reasonably on the Flat and has to be respected.
