Plenty in with chances in an open heat and Ceresfield is just preferred with Search And Destroy and Noble Comic providing the main threat. Richard Guest has made a fine start to his training career and Ceresfield added to the tally when scoring an impressive six-length victory at Hexham last month. The seven-year-old mare was value for plenty more and is taken to defy a subsequent 12lb hike up the weights. Search And Destroy landed a novice event at Newcastle last time but that was a weak affair and faces no easy task back in handicap-company off his current mark. Noble Comic was in fair form last season but is reaching the veteran stage of his career and may need the outing following a six-month break while Moon Glow is a consistent performer but looks weighted up to his very best at present.
