Trimoulet landed the odds with the minimum of fuss in a Class 6 contest here last week and carries 6lb extra. But ALDEBURGH (NAP) won a higher grade handicap over track and trip a week ago by three lengths and is taken to shrug off his penalty and go in again. Sheriff Of Nawton went very close on his recent outing over course and distance and can race off the same mark while Aristocracy has won over hurdles since scoring on the Flat at Chepstow back in August. Captain Swift still looks a shade high in the weights and the veteran Den Maschine ran out of steam at Lingfield on his first start since 2012.
