After a first chase success last time out, MY FRIEND THE WIND is taken to follow up. He may have won that race by further without a late mistake so a 5lb rise could be on the lenient side. My Good Pal was about to have a say before an unseat on chase debut 18 days ago and could be the main threat. Zolpharine should remain competitive back over the larger obstacles having probably found the ground quick last time and his stablemate, The Little Yank caught the eye over timber a week ago.
