A market move for the returning Anton Dolin would have to be taken seriously. Divers, a former Cheltenham Festival winner, can't get much lower in the weights but Scales still looks too high in the handicap. The better ground could suit Whisky Yankee, however, while Neston Grace has been running well on Polytrack. Yabadabadoo has shown promise and makes his handicap debut but may need more time. COLEBROOKE ran his best race for a while when third at Southwell two weeks ago. He's on a fair mark now and could be the one to beat if reproducing that latest effort here. Fade To Grey is a course winner and may be best of the rest.
