Trafficker's winning form is over fences but he's only a pound higher than when successful at Bangor last month and must go well. Maldivian Reef is thoroughly unexposed but looks to have his fair share of weight. Arctic Dixie could figure but West End is out of sorts and Minella Bliss is starting to get a bit long in the tooth. MAYPOLE LASS (NAP) has been unlucky not to score before now. Stuart Edmunds' mare has run her best races over this trip on good ground and can finally get her head in front. Gold Medal might be best of the rest.
