This is wide open but Emmet Mullins' BACKMERSACKME took a big step forward when an excellent second in a big-field Cheltenham handicap last time so gets the vote off just a 1 lb higher mark here. Gavin Cromwell's progressive Will The Wise heads a long list of dangers that include the handily-weighted Weveallbeencaught, I Will Do and Midnight Our Fred. Search For Glory, Captain Cody and Noble Birth also need factoring into this highly competitive handicap.
