WEIGHTWATCHER: ANIMATO won off a handicap mark of 72, his rating is now down 8lb to 64.
LONGEST TRAVELLER: THE UBERMENSCH trained by M Bell, Newmarket, 128 miles.
THE UBERMENSCH caught the eye when running on into fourth at Wolverhampton last time having been forced wide to challenge and can gain a breakthrough victory off a 1lb lower mark here. Sweet Kiss also shaped well when fourth at Carlisle a week ago and rates a big threat though. The Brian Ellison-trained duo Letmeseethecolts and Division Day can fight it out for minor honours

NOVELLO LAD recorded an impressive success over C&D last month and may well be able to overcome an 8lb higher mark on that evidence. Betties Bay continues to thrive for James Owen and there’s no obvious reason why she shouldn’t go well again, while Lord Bertie is certainly capable from this mark if putting his best foot forward.
