Agentleman’s strike-rate is off-putting but he must have a chance in a race like this off bottom weight with Nathan Moscrop taking off a further 3lb. Wisecracker won at Hereford in November when last seen but that was his first career victory in 23 attempts and he is 6lb higher. MY RENAISSANCE (NAP) is the only one of these to have seen action recently. He ran on the Flat at Redcar last month and is now 8lb lower when successful over fences at Sedgefield last summer. Thomas Blossom could reward each-way support granted luck in-running.
