Here Comes Henry remains a lightly raced type open to further improvement and, as such, is the TEAMtalk choice to concede weight all round. Robert Alner's charge appears to be coming to hand judged on his latest effort when runner-up behind a useful yardstick over three miles at Chepstow earlier in the month. This pacey type shouldn't be inconvenienced by the drop in trip and can take advantage of a winning mark. In contrast, Monkey Island now looks in the handicapper's grip being 5lb higher than April's Hexham victory and ran below form following a break earlier in the month. The inexperienced Roxby Explorer needs to improve his jumping technique while Shellin Hill disappointed last time and The Hearty Joker will struggle from 9lb out of the handicap.
