Irish import ASLUKWOODHAVIT has acquitted himself well off this mark here and at Uttoxeter the last twice and he gets the nod ahead of Let's Sail Away, who clearly has two ways of running but put in a good shift when runner-up on his chase debut and will be a serious player if building on that. Time To Bite came home in splendid isolation over this C&D last time and he also merits respect in this competitive contest, with Limerick Leader, Magic Seven and Theonlywayiswessex all possibles, too.
