LONGEST TRAVELLER: GOLDEN POET trained by K Burke, Whitcombe, 124 miles.

SINISTER MINISTER has run a couple of sound races over 2 1/2m here since switching to fences and gets the nod with the slightly longer trip a potential positive. Last month’s C&D scorer Dindin heads the dangers along with Rebel Leader and Ron Burgundy.

LONGEST TRAVELLER: HARRY DU BERLAIS trained by N Kent, Brigg, 156 miles.

This race lacks depth and MOLE COURT is firmly on the up, so he’s an obvious choice to go in again. Fellow last-time-out winner Abaya du Mathan is the main danger and Tom O’Roughley isn’t dismissed.
