Dal Horrisgle has run well enough since joining Alan King but hasn’t pulled up any trees. Mister Sweets was last of two finishers at Aintree and may need another run so this can go to INISHBIGGLE. Daryl Jacob keeps faith with last month’s easy course and distance winner, though official ratings suggest there is nothing between Barry Leavy's six-year-old and the more-exposed Sufi.
