A wide-open look to this handicap with not too many appealing as particularly well handicapped. Ultra-consistent mare HAPPY DIVA gets the vote after a solid win over an in-form horse at Huntingdon latest suggesting she is still thriving and she is a regular in these sort of contests. War Sound has been well backed for this contest and if back to his Aintree form earlier in the season he would have a big chance. Dolos appeals the most of the Ditcheat trio and the form of the Nicholls team makes him therefore worthy of serious respect.
