JUSTCALLMEPETE's most recent efforts haven't been among his best but he's nevertheless interesting here given that he was just touched off at Windsor on his final run on turf last year. The 7-y-o gets the nod ahead of Strike, who is an appealing each-way option. Recent Wolverhampton scorer Hunky Dory is officially 2 lb 'well-in' under a penalty and he has to be feared, while the likes of Aces Wild and Mr Lightside could also have a say.
