BEALLANDENDALL (NAP) is preferred to fellow course and distance winner Ascotdeux Nellerie with the latter having run poorly when last seen at Doncaster in November. Matt Shepherd's charge was always travelling well when scoring here three weeks ago and is back on track. Rejaah is a possible improver having had just the one run over timber and Magic Music Man was second over track and trip in November and has seen action on the all-weather since. Scot Daddy was a maiden on the Flat and may have stamina issues.
