A thick black line can be inked through three of these runners, so the race is best viewed as a three-way tussle between Echo Express, Instingtive and KAVANAGHS CORNER. Lisa Harrison's runner produced a career best effort from 10lb out of the handicap when nabbed by the flying Calivigny at Carlisle ten days ago and should go close from his correct mark this afternoon but a marginal preference is for the Simon Earle-trained long-distance traveller who is fully proven in testing conditions at stamina sapping tracks.
