Formscan - Achnamara scored readily over a similar trip at Sedgefield on Boxing Day but a 13lb higher mark looks harsh on the face value of what he actually achieved. With that in mind, fellow last-time-out winner KOMEDY KICKS shades the vote after winning a deeper race at Kelso most recently. A 5lb higher mark looks manageable for the Dan Skelton-trained mare, who may find further improvement over this longer trip. Diamond Koda and My Friend Yeats are other solid each-way contenders.
