Bumper winner ALFREDO made a winning handicap debut in this code when scoring over 2m on the Polytrack at Lingfield. He has more scope than the rest of these, including the other recent winner Maid Of Tuscany. The latter won over 1m6f at Catterick recently, when Cosmic Tigress was well beaten, but is upped 5lb. Tamarillo Grove has won six times over jumps since scoring on the Flat in 2010 but makes his all-weather debut, but Lacey was narrowly beaten in this race last year off a similar mark and could figure. Delagoa Bay won over 2m1f at Bath in July but has been in woeful form since.
