This won't take much winning and The Wealerdealer is sure to be popular as he's won his last two between the flags and was successful at Exeter last May, despite giving his rider steering problems. DELTA BORGET hasn't managed a win in 18 starts under Rules but usually takes on stronger opposition. Les Jefford's gelding will never get a better chance than this to open his account with the trip is in his favour, though he was pulled up on his recent reappearance. Anglingforcharlie has a lengthy absence to overcome but ran well at Fontwell last May and Rio De Sivola was once held in some regard and did win a chase in 2013 when with Nick Williams.
