Most of these have a question mark of some sort against them but SEACON BEG looks an exception, having done pretty well since being sent into the handicap ranks, winning all out at Taunton before producing a reasonable follow-up effort when fourth at Ludlow in a better race than this. He has his ground, the slightly shorter trip should suit and he's one of the few who looks likely to run his race. The Kvilleken was a desperate disappointment the last day when a well-beaten favourite but his previous effort when only beaten less than a length in a Wincanton handicap brings him right into the mix. Taroum and Definitely Better also merit consideration on the best of their efforts as does June French. The latter has yet to score in 29 starts but she does travel well in her races and is interesting returned to the smaller obstacles off a lowly weight.
