Mojolika came good at Carlisle in the spring and has been in action on the Flat during the summer. Glencree won at Kelso last month and Tidal Way had PIPPA GREENE and Hartside behind when successful at Bangor. But Nicky Henderson's gelding looked in need of the run that day and is now 10lb better off. It will be disappointing if he can't reverse the form here and he gets a tentative vote to return to winning ways, though Zafranagar isn't badly handicapped on his reappearance and should find a similar race before long. Tinseltown had the disappointing Lifetime behind when sixth here last time and makes most appeal of the remainder ahead of chasers Shadows Lengthen and Hi Dancer.
