Verdict

KHUBALA is the least exposed and worth sticking with. It was soft ground when Ed Dunlop's colt scored at Leicester recently but he'd won on Polytrack earlier this year and is taken to defy a 5lb rise in the weights. Goldream finished behind the selection before boosting the form with victory at Wolverhampton last time and he makes more appeal than the struggling O'Gorman though Haydock winner Bop It and last season's dual winner Taffe can both be given a chance. The remainder have a bit to find but West Leake Hare has slipped down to a decent mark if back to his best.
