A decent heat, with JAMESIECONN fancied to bring up the hat-trick having been given only a minor rise for his latest Doncaster success. Girls Best Friend has done well in his first season chasing and remains unexposed, whilst Voleur de Terres has proved a completely different proposition of late and holds strong claims of completing her own hat-trick.
