A big field for a modest finale. Monty's Award was third back over hurdles here last month and is 2lb lower now but still meets ROBEAM off level weights. Michael Mullineaux’s charge has every chance again if transferring recent good form at Southwell. Novus Aditus is weighted to reverse Exeter running in April with Lake Shore Drive and Tara Niece is also on a decent mark. Dynali had a run on the Flat last month while Presenting Yeats is eased in grade with Lessankan and Uttoxeter winner Gold Leader also respected. Bird On The Wire looks best of the rest.
