Frankie Rapper is greatly respected after a winning handicap debut for the Skelton's last time out and a 5lb rise isn't sure to ground his ambitions but MINELLA WHISPER won over C&D in March and did well in the circumstances to finish as close as he did at Stratford since, given things didn't go his way. That prove this mark isn't insurmountable. Serpico has yet to win but shaped well last time and had valid claims while Marvellous Monty is also a place contender.
