FRERO BANBOU (8) finished third in this event making reappearance twelve months ago and looks dangerous to ignore off 3lb lower. This has possibly been the target since and with good ground unlikely to phase him the well-handicapped contender is considered. SURE TOUCH (4) looks to be improving and warrants thought after winning a valuable Class One handicap chase at Market Rasen. Runner-up in this last season PERCUSSION (9) cannot be ignored making first start since filling the same position tackling a Class Two at Uttoxeter (3m2f) in June. Impressive Chepstow winner KING TURGEON (12) can remain in contention up in standard under a penalty.
