Dan Skelton's trio are all much better than they showed last time, and perhaps handicap newcomer Phineas Bunce will be the best of them on his first run since wind surgery. However, preference is for the 4yo WESTLAIN (nap) who bolted up at Huntingdon recently and is taken to defy a 9lb rise. The unexposed Sir Hobnob may be the chief threat on his second handicap start, ahead of Phineas Bunce then Diamonds Galore.[Ben Hutton]
