Formscan - There has been some good weight-carrying performances in this race over the years but the 11 stone mark is a prevalent trend among recent winners, which puts the progressive ANGLERS CRAG in the right bracket to continue on his upwardly mobile trajectory. The nine-year-old is still of low mileage over fences and, as he is notably 3-3 since joining the Brian Ellison yard, there are strong foundations for further success here. Fenland Tiger has won both his starts since finishing third behind the selection at Carlisle in December, so cannot be ruled out with a 7lb pull at the weights. The Galloping Bear was second in this race last year and is feared off the same mark, while Gold Clermont is another to consider.
