ANIMAL (1) has struggled for a little while and his handicap mark has slipped as a result. There were signs of a return to form when third at Fontwell last month and having no issue with marathon trips this previous course winner looks the one to beat. SEASMOKE (3) was going well this season before a lesser effort a fortnight ago. Entitled to bounce back here if handling the trip. BROTHER BORIS (6) is another untried over the distance however might come on for his return to this circuit last month. SPOTTY DOG (8) stays the journey and could be running on when others have faltered receiving this featherweight.
