Verdict

BLAINE won this last year and he's not dismissed in a follow-up bid having got off to a flying start for his new yard at Newbury last time. Naggers has to cope with a 10lb penalty but he won a competitive looking race at Thirsk easily enough last time out and he could win again. Ashpan Sam is another former winner of this contest and he returns here on what looks like a very lenient mark.
