FIRST COMPANY made it 2 wins from his last 3 starts when successful at Kempton 22 days ago and, having been rated higher in the past, he is taken to score again. Heading the list of dangers is Hiatus, who met trouble in running when fourth behind the selection last time, while Thank The Lord can also give another good account.
