Plenty are in with a shout, but EIGHTY EIGHT took a step forward when second in a big field over C&D earlier in the month and is taken to go one better with few miles still on the clock. Bells On Her Toes finished a place behind the selection that day and is feared most, with top-weight and handicap-debutant Observing appealing as the pick of the remainder for place purposes.
