TELLOVOI picked up a three-runner claiming race at Wolverhampton last time but had landed a Class 4 handicap over 7f here earlier. He's won three times over today's longer trip before and is the obvious choice as he bids for a hat-trick. Alice's Dancer is weighted to figure on today's terms but is having her first start since August and has yet to race on Fibresand while multiple Polytrack winner Pelmanism is also having his first experience of this surface. Course and distance winner Sofias Number One should have too much for Misleading Promise and Tartan Trip but doesn't arrive in the best of form and failed to land the odds in a similar event here earlier in the month.
