TROJAN SUN won off a higher mark at Huntingdon at the start of the year and probably needed his comeback run at Wincanton so can take this. Billy Cuckoo is a course and distance winner and only a pound higher while it's probably only a matter of time before Coeur De Fou wins over fences. Allerton was second at Warwick on Thursday but behind Trojan Sun earlier. Tafika would have a big chance on his best form but has two ways of running and his record first-time out is poor.
