Well-drawn in stall two, IT'SNEVERJUSTONE is taken to complete the hat-trick. He appears to be an uncomplicated type and while a combined 13 lb rise for his recent victories at Ffos Las and Galway will make things tougher, there's a good chance that he has more in the locker. Fire Flame is feared most, despite a tricky draw, while Capital Guarantee and, if he goes to post, Giant should also have parts to play.
