CALL OF THE LOON (2) won this race twelve months ago and can go back-to-back. Drawing closer to a win after placing on all three starts since a break including a second in a higher grade Newton Abbot contest. Top chance. CRESSWELL QUEEN (6) broke through for a win three back. Made the frame twice since and last seen finishing runner-up at Uttoxeter. O'FAOLAINS LAD (3) was a useful second at Newton Abbot two back. Holds each way claims. SHARP NOTE (5) is an each way contender if replicating form of a novice handicap chase victory two starts ago.
