THEO's winning sequence came to an abrupt halt when he unseated his rider early doors at Ayr in September but he'd been improving in rapid fashion previously and, having had a short break, may not be done climbing yet. He was an easy winner at Newcastle over this sort of trip previous to his Ayr mishap and should be a danger here from a low weight. Gino Trail won impressively at Wetherby last time and while facing a tougher task here, he's expected to give Harry Skelton a nice spin around. Bun Doran is worth tracking in the betting on his reappearance ahead of what should be a promising season while Knockgraffon could get back on track for his new handler.
