Book Direct looked a promising type when last seen in 2016, but this surely rests between Dentley De Mee and BLU CAVALIER. The former produced a huge run at Sandown last time when conditions were soft. His two wins have come on quicker ground and he will face the most attritional going of his career this afternoon. On BHA ratings he meets the selection on 7lb worse terms than if this was a handicap. Paul Nicholls has a good record in this race and his runner here proved last time that he handles desperate ground particularly well.
