ANQUETTA and Skint are the only two with winning form over this trip. The former was successful in a higher grade at Market Rasen in May and can be forgiven a subsequent run over further at Stratford so gets the vote. Lucky Landing alternates between hurdles and fences but was pulled up over the smaller obstacles at Market Rasen on Sunday while Sean Airgead has been out of sorts. Lemon's Gent and Steel Summit arrive off the back of respective wins here and at Ffos Las but both will have to carry more than their allotted weight.
