JUST CALL ME AL (NAP) is a three times winner around here and loves good ground. He found the going a bit sticky at Catterick after landing a Class 4 handicap here in January and is only 3lb higher. Naizagai has never won over fences but wasn't beaten far here in October and is 4lb lower while Getaway Jewel has only had three starts over the bigger obstacles and found the minimum trip too short at Catterick. Blueberry Wine won here on Boxing day but has disappointed in two subsequent starts while Onenightintown is 0-21 and 5lb out of the handicap, though ran very well at Catterick a fortnight ago.
