Qawamees has slipped down the ratings but his last victory came over 1m4f and he’s likely to find this much too short. Dragons Will Rise has won four of his last five but has been raised a further 6lb since scoring at Pontefract and a high draw is not ideal here on the round course. Redesdale Rebel’s win here last month came over 6f and in a lower grade while Nat Love has switched stables since last seen in October. The unexposed Makeen is also running for a new yard after a break but John Jasper is interesting after a fair run here on his reappearance when Dubai Acclaim and Club Wexford were behind. DELGREY BOY was a smooth winner over course and distance last month before finding 1m2f a shade too far at Ripon. He’s improved over the winter and looks the one to beat.
