Soldat Forte and the four-year-old Baikal are penalised for earlier wins and both step up from 2m. But IKE SPORT won a conditionals’ handicap back in March and can take advantage of the weight concession back at this level. Ballylinch is a likely improver dropping down in distance while Roll With It has placed in bumpers and debuts over timber on his first outing for over a year.
