LONG CALL (4) holds some of the best recent form in the field with two wins and a second from the past three outings. Scored by 0.5L at Bangor-on-Dee in latest and must be a leading contender. LADY GWEN (2) returned from a short spell with a 0.5L success in a handicap hurdle at this track tackling a longer trip. Entitled to come forward for the run. Thereabouts. UP FOR APPEAL (1) may place off top weight. Better than a recent sixth of seven at Newton Abbot would suggest. DEAL EM HIGH (8) resumes after a two month spell. Inexperienced in handicaps and could find more.
