A few with chances but it could pay to side with Sam England's course scorer MR MISTOFFELEES who travelled fluently when an excellent recent Southwell second and could find this drop back to 7f in his favour. Roger Fell's course specialist Eldrickjones rates a big threat though off a handy-looking mark, while Midnight Lion, Al Muqdad and Blazing Son can all have a say too in this competitive handicap.
