Chasing a hat-trick after wins over 3m here and 2m 4f at Leicester last time. Runner-up that day has gone well since. A 12lb rise for won't help, but this consistent mare can again be involved in an uncompetitive race..
Yet to convince he stays this far. Has been handed both career victories (once by the stewards and the other when the leader came down) and looks a difficult ride. Should be approaching his peak following two runs back from an absence and this is a weak race.
Four time course winner who has finished second on all three previous starts here over this trip. One of the few in this to arrive in good order and on a reasonable mark.
Capable of landing this on some pieces of form but another in this who needs to be a forgiven a bad run last time.

MIDNIGHT JADE and Riddlestown are the only ones in this who can be trusted judged on recent evidence. The former has not been given an easy task by the handicapper but she is a tough sort who is on the upgrade. Riddlestown usually runs well here and at this level. He looks the main threat to the selection whilst Eaton Rock may not be one to rely on but he usually makes the frame and looks booked to do so again.
