Denise¿s Dip can win this at the expense of Nomad and Pocketwood. The selection has been knocking on the door of late finishing second in his last two races. He ran with great credit when finishing in behind Music Celebre at Fontwell on his latest outing and if able to recapture that form he will prove difficult to beat. Nomad is only a lightly raced individual over here but did show a decent level of ability when third to Wotchalike at Wincanton last month. He does have to give weight all around here though which will not make life any easier for him for but he is well worth noting in the betting market. As is Pocketwood who is rated around the 70 mark on the flat and was not totally discredited when finishing sixth of eighteen at Kempton when sent back over hurdles last time out. But for the winner we return to Denise¿s Dip.
