Arabian Jazz gained his only success on very fast going and won't have conditions to suit here. Swiss Belle has had just three runs, all at Wolverhampton, but Paul Hanagan keeps faith in him over stable companion Ventura Gold, whom he rode to victory at Newcastle. How Bizarre won at Southwell earlier this month and is just 3lb higher but Scenic River looks to be making his handicap debut on a high enough mark. Handsome Bob has shown some promise on Tapeta but the vote in a wide-open event goes to SONG OF SUMMER, who has changed stables having done well to land a Doncaster nursery last summer - Iain Jardine's charge has Jamie Gormley's claim to help.
