This looks a three horse race on paper with preference for Tom Lacey's four-year-old LOSSIEMOUTH who twice won bumpers last term. He looked to be crying out for further at Ayr last time out so the extra 2½f today should be right up his street. Hereford runner-up Exod'ela should also appreciate the longer trip as a 3m point-to-point winner in Ireland earlier in his career and he may be the biggest threat ahead of more exposed Unwin Vc who was third in this last year.
