This looks trappy but SCHERBOBALOB got the job done in pretty convincing fashion on just his second start in handicaps at Ludlow 3 weeks ago and gets the narrow vote to come out on top again from a 5 lb higher mark. Glory Bridge has the ability to play a part if putting it all together and is feared, along with his stablemate Iceman Dennis. Hokelami isn't out of things either.
