Dealing River should be thereabouts despite a penalty for his earlier win at Huntingdon, while Kanturk has shown enough in a couple of starts at Ffos Las to suggest he can win one of these. However, BELLAPAIS ABBEY was headed at the post on his debut at Market Rasen last month and with improvement likely, David Brown's charge gets the nod here. The remainder with experience are hard to fancy and the newcomers make little appeal with the exception of Gayety, who is a half-sister to a bumper and hurdles winner.
