Ultra progressive last season, course winner O'CONNELL can resume winning ways following a highly encouraging reappearance at Carlisle last month. Ask Brewster is progressing at a rate of knots and is feared most in his bid for a 4-timer, while strong-travelling Tanganyika shaped well on his comeback at Cheltenham and is entitled to improve.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: The pace doesn’t look like being overly strong here and Ask Brewster should still be served best by being ridden prominently: Despite a suspicion the pace will be sound, those held up such as O'connell usually is are still likely to have their work cut out.
Individual Price Hint: Invincible Nao traded at more than 5 times Betfair SP and 2 times Betfair SP when winning on 2 of its last 5 starts.
