Halucha, who was sent off favourite at Market Rasen last month, and handicap debutant Dreamsoftheatre should be monitored for market interest in this. Lombardy Boy tries a new trip but was third here last time and preferred to Manadam and course winner The Wee Midget, who are returning from a lay-off. MARICO looked much improved at Plumpton and the runner-up ran well again at Worcester earlier this week. Tom Symonds' charge will be going up more than the 7lb extra he carries here and can record a quick follow-up as Little Carmela can't handle any kind of give in the ground.
