This is another tricky puzzle to solve but TANGLED won this last year and is only 2lb higher despite subsequently getting the better of recent Musselburgh winner Makeen over track and trip. There was plenty to like about the seven-year-old’s comeback run at Pontefract. Sucellus lacks a recent run but Cassy O should be approaching peak fitness while Hello Zabeel has had wind surgery since a beaten favourite at Chelmsford last month. Detective won three times here last year but over an extra furlong and his victory at Hamilton at the start of the month was over 1m3f.
