A race that has an historical advantage for those racing from the front or in a prominent position, which could prove a positive for the Stuart Kittow-trained AVOCADEAU who is a three time winner at Bath, and beat Cockney Boy, here, by a head in an April handicap on firm ground. Keeping him company and possibly vying for the lead, is the tigerish, New Approach gelding, Eden Dubai and last time out beaten favourite Hallingham, both could fill the places.
