Philip Hobbs has won this 3 times since 2015 and that already good record might be enhanced by CELEBRE D'ALLEN, who did very well at around this trip last season. Elixir de Nutz was back on track when narrowly denied at Wincanton last time and is feared most ahead of the returning Magic Saint, who has Freddie Gingell taking a handy 7 lb off.
