Crescent Beach went close in a novice event last time and may figure on his handicap debut but Olympian was still beaten out of sight despite finishing second at Towcester last time. King Zeal has claims on his recent fourth at Uttoxeter but this is tougher than the seller Marino Prince won at Catterick last month. A hurdles winner in France, DELLA SUN has had just the two starts in this country and, given he's dropped in class here after a recent third at Taunton, Arthur Whitehead's charge looks capable of returning to winning ways.
