Ilongue is a couple of pounds out of the handicap and struggling to find another victory. NESNAAS, the winner of four races over fences, can take this as he's dropped to a winnable mark after a barren spell and ran well here last time. Photogenique is a tricky ride and is by no means certain to reproduce her decent debut run over fences on this track though she should again take care of Crack At Dawn, who was behind he that day. Mujamead has had plenty of chances and is still a maiden over fences as is Bohemian Rock, who is tried in headgear for the first time after a poor run at Southwell.
