John Quinn's most likeable EL ASTRONAUTE returned in style with victory at Chester earlier in the month and is fancied to repeat last year's win in this event (albeit at a different track) and hold off King's Lynn once more. Andrew Balding's 4-y-o has fewer miles on the clock so rates a big threat with more to come. Moss Gill and Aljady are both worth a second look also.
