Richard Hannon won this last year and he runs three in this year's renewal with Fleeting Motion his most likely winner. She shaped like she needed her comeback run and her win at Doncaster towards the end of last year was impressive. RASHFORD'S DOUBLE could be the one to side with though; he was highly progressive when rattling off a hat-trick last season and he should resume progress here. Ocean Air is a danger to all if he takes to the softer ground.
