Plenty in with chances here too.

 

Italian Spirit traveled very well here last time when 3rd on handicap debut for Olly Murphy and looks a danger but well found by the market. Glimpse of Gala also looks interesting on handicap debut and Lamanver Bel Ami who won well too at Worcester, winning on seasonal debut is also an obvious danger off a 5lbs penalty.

 

The likes of Rabski for Jonjo who is running well but was last having bled from the nose on his only run here and Grand Lord who could have a race off him and tried in new headgear for Stuart Edmonds are not without chances either in this competitive heat.

 

One to track and follow after today is Straight Swap for Chris Gordon, a promising ex P2P horse who'll come on for the run after just over a year off.

 

The standout one for me though is INCA ROSE for the very much in form Kim Bailey and David Bass combination. There is lots to like about this horse and I think it will run prominently, Bass has a metronome in his head and I can see it asking serious stamina and jumping questions of many in the field from near the front. It's hard to ignore any unexposed Dan Skelton horse at the moment and JET PLANE can't be left out of calculations, a 3 mile P2P recruit and I think he'll head for that kind of trip during the season but they add a tongue tie on handicap debut and it's hard to say the mark isn't generous with the improvement that aid and the step up in trip may bring.
