An open contest. The obvious starting point is last week's C&D scorer Home Before Dusk who appears more tractable nowadays since fitted with cheekpieces. He displayed grit when winning for the second time for Danny Tudhope (Joe Fanning takes over today) but does have a 5lb penalty in a slightly stronger contest and that certainly makes him beatable. Debbonair is a possible for Hugo Palmer, while it remains early days for the AW debutant Skerryvore. Nevertheless, although very difficult to predict nowadays there's some scope for optimism with the eased-in-the-weights C&D scorer BRIARDALE. He's worth chancing at projected double-figure odds.
