Formscan - LORD WARBURTON was in slightly better form when springing a surprise to land a division of this event 12 months ago. First-time blinkers replace cheekpieces, though, and he is now back on last year's winning mark. This isn't the deepest of contests and handicap debutant Start Again looks sure to be involved having shown ability over hurdles so far. Queens Wish weakened two from home at Uttoxeter, but dropping in trip could result in a stronger finishing effort.
