In a moderate event it is hard to oppose SPARKLING DUKE, who made a winning Rules return over 2m4f at Ffos Las a couple of weeks ago A 5lb rise for that success may not be enough to stop the six-year-old from following up in this company. See The Green has made the frame the last twice and is likely to be in the mix once again. The rest all have questions to answer, but I Look How I Look is the pick of them.

A very useful handicap but it’s hard to side against Joe Tizzard’s U CANT BE SERIOUS who made light of a 9-month absence when an impressive scorer on his chasing bow over C&D and looks the sort to go on improving for a while yet. Donnacha arrives at the top of his game and should ensure the selection doesn’t have things all his own way, while Royal Jewel and Harper’s Brook can’t be discounted either
