MARINER arrives at the top of his game and is fancied to resume winning ways off the same mark as when a good recent second here. Berkshire Phantom could emerge as the chief threat on the back of an eye-catching Southwell eighth, although Aljezur, Triggered and Rogue Thunder also need factoring into this very open handicap 1-2-3:

WEIGHTWATCHER: VISIBILITY won off a handicap mark of 75, his rating is now down 15lb to 60. LONGEST TRAVELLER: VENETIAN trained by Sean Davis, Ireland.
This is wide open but Thomas Faulkner’s thriving FIRST GREYED still looks ahead of his mark and is taken to bag a quick hat-trick at the chief expense of in-form course specialist Visibility. Forever Proud can also have a say, while Cerulean Summer, I Can’t Believe and Venetian all warrant plenty of respect too in this highly competitive event.
