MERRY MONTY pulled clear of the rest when runner-up on his debut over fences at Exeter and, with the winner going in again since, that form looks decent. Chris Down's charge may well go one better here if, as expected, he is able to build on that. Herecomeshogan is by no means certain to reproduce the form of his latest Hereford effort but he'll certainly be a threat if able to do so, while Our Nel is third choice ahead of Howyouplaythegame and Trapista.
