It's hard to ignore the claims of VEE DANCER given that he escapes a penalty for his conditional jockeys' success at Huntingdon last weekend. Indeed, he's even 3 lb lower here if the fact Kevin Brogan wasn't able to use his claim at Huntingdon is taken into account. The form of Terrierman's latest Exeter second has worked out so he's the obvious one for the forecast spot.
