Alberobello was second in this last year off the same mark and should be thereabouts again. Neville was well backed at Wincanton last month but beaten a long way and still has a bit to prove while Letemgo was raised 7lb after winning at the same track. One More Tune was tailed off at Cheltenham after winning his maiden at Newton Abbot but Malibu Rock ran his best race so far at Towcester and may be improving. Barry Geraghty has a good book of rides today and MISTER SNOWBALL could be the one to beat in this. He was just denied in a blanket finish at Exeter last time and stays this longer trip.
