The unbeaten NEWMARCH is likely to prove popular in this having spread-eagled the field when winning on his handicap debut at Doncaster. Kevin Stott's allowance helps with an 11lb rise and Charlie Appleby's charge can go in again. Noro Lim is upped in class after a second at Goodwood but can still figure but Castilo Del Diablo has to race off a 6lb higher mark back on the all-weather and Hamelin makes a belated reappearance 10lb higher than last year's win at Leicester. Modernism is not without a chance but was due to run at Haydock yesterday.
