HENOK finally came good over track and trip six days ago when beating an in-form rival. That will have done his confidence the world of good and, as there's a chance he's still well handicapped, he gets the vote to follow up under a penalty. Oranger has won two of his last three and can't be ignored, though seems better with plenty of give in the ground. Orang Outan was raised 8lb for winning a weak event at Huntingdon but Vosges has shown signs of a revival lately and is thrown in on his best form. He makes more appeal than the disappointing Owner Occupier and Quadripland, who was well beaten at Doncaster after scoring at Folkestone.
