Burtonwood won this last year but is 6lb higher after having won twice on Tapeta subsequently. Indian Pursuit gained the eighth victory of his career when scoring over 5f here in May and he's just as adept at this trip but Cliff's course and distance victory in August came on soft ground. BEDTIME BELLA has been gradually getting the hang of the job and though it was soft going when she chased home Dancing Rave here last month she won't mind quicker conditions and can defy a 3lb rise. Carlovian beat Tadaany a head off levels at Nottingham and the pair are weighted to dead-heat while Viking Way beat the latter a nose on the same track but is 4lb worse off. Shesadabber was engaged in the 7.00 at Chepstow last night.
