This could go the way of Ed Walker's INTO BATTLE who has slipped in the weights to a good mark and should find this step up in distance very much to his benefit having come in sixth over 1m at Pontefract last time. Course scorer Afloat didn't enjoy the rub of the green when a recent sixth at Windsor and could emerge as the main danger, while handicap debutant Gnomon and in-form duo It's A Love Thing and Rogue Sea also need factoring in.
