The veteran Osteopathic Remedy won this in 2010 but, along with recent Ripon winner Trail Blaze, was well beaten in last year's renewal by Norse Blues. David Barron's charge is not easily ignored despite racing off a higher mark this time round, though he's worse off with the runner-up from last season Anderiego. The latter makes most appeal of the O'Meara runners given Nottingham winner Robert The Painter may find it tough confirming superiority with Multi Bene on today's faster ground. Farlow makes more appeal than recent Polytrack winners Capo Rosso and Bold Prediction after beating Fort Bastion over 7f here but OFF ART is the selection. Tim Easterby's colt ran a big race when fifth in the Lincoln on his return and looks capable of adding to last year's three victories off his current mark.
