More competitive than Division 1 with three recent winners (
New Street,
Lily Ash and
Lulu Star) in the line up alongside the William Haggas-trained filly
Spiced who should break her duck in this company eventually (stamina must be proven over 1m2f). However, the most interesting runner is the top-weight
SQUIRE. Cheekpieces appear to have led to an upturn in fortunes (beaten a nose by Fair Selene at Kempton latest), and with regular rider Rab Havlin retaining the mount, he's expected to be able to capitalise from a career low mark now upped in trip.
