Marhaba The Champ is difficult to fancy on current form but cannot be entirely ruled out if bouncing back on handicap debut, while Cogital remains capable off this sort of mark if on a going day, though is far from reliable. Preference, however, is for WESTERTON (nap), who arrives on the back of a promising second last time and may still be well treated off 5lb higher judged on the strength of his Flat form. Lord Cauvelliere made a pleasing start to handicaps at Ludlow and can give the selection most to do. [Tim Mitchell]
