DEMON D'AUNOU is fancied to take a big step forward having caught the eye when claimer ridden at Newton Abbot last time and open his account over fences. Vocaliser rates a big threat however, having looked right back on track when runner-up and ahead of the selection there. Southwell-scorer Don't Ask is another who commands plenty of respect in an open handicap.
