Though rising 14, Richardofdoccombe beat subsequent winner All Good Things over track and trip last month and Rex Dingle takes off a handy 3lb. Alltimegold will have needed his run at Sedgefield and also goes on the shortlist but TENNEWROW should also strip fitter for his run here three weeks ago. He only weakened in the closing stages over 2m4f so a combination of a drop in distance and heavy going can see him go close today. Collodi is capable of running well in a race like this and so is Highland Bobby. Flanagans Field may be the pick of the remainder.
