Formscan  - Escapologist is the sole C&D winner in the line-up, having won on his only visit in March, but he has to race off 5lb more here which makes life more difficult. Huffin An A Puffin drops in class for his second start since wind surgery. With cheekpieces added, he could surprise a few, but the nod goes to COUMEENOOLE. A winner last time out at Bangor, he seemed to appreciate the step back up to this trip and an added 9lb may not be enough to stop him doubling up.
