Sir Dylan has been in fine form in lesser company under David Noonan but another 6lb since he completed his hat-trick at Fontwell may have tipped the balance. Baratineur rather blotted his copybook at Plumpton in March and has questions to answer on this better ground. He was also no match for GREAT HALL (NAP) off level weights at Huntingdon in the autumn and Kevin Frost's charge has been thereabouts in this grade lately so may be ready for a return to winning ways. Ennistown and I'dliketheoption both have an absence to overcome but there are possibilities about Regulation and Mountainside off their current marks and Minellaforleisure was challenging the winner when falling two out at Warwick last month.
