It's been a long while since FOSSA got his head in front but there have been some tentative signs of a revival since the turn of the year. His sole previous try at this trip came around here in better company and, if replicating Wolverhampton form from last month, he has a chance off current mark to get back on the board. This is a weak contest so Mowhoob, who broke his AW duck in the stewards' room at Chelmsford recently, has to be given a chance despite his new rating. Coming back from a break Rafaaf is also one to note in the market having performed well enough at Wolverhampton when last spotted while Gavarnie Encore has also slipped to a potentially dangerous mark. Kristoff, third at Wolverhampton last time, will be on the premises if able to replicate that run. Lutine Charlie is 3lb lower than when winning this race 12 months ago but has been out of sorts since. 1. Fossa 2. Rafaaf 3. Mowhoob
