Nonrunner
Fromthetop has won three times between the flags and also score over hurdles here last month. He's only had two runs over fences and probably has more scope than the majority of these. Old-timer Rifleman ran his best race for a long time when runner-up at Ffos Las and is thrown in on his old form, though has a bit to find with the disappointing Civil Unrest on collateral form. PURE ANTICIPATION's run when behind the latter at Stratford was too bad to be true. He is taken to bounce back here though Watch House and Quayside Court can't be ignored and Sadler's Star was second at Fontwell last month.
