Conor O'Farrell steered Businessmoney Judi to a second successive win at Wincanton after AP McCoy had partnered the mare to victory at Towcester. His claim will be invaluable here if she is to complete the hat-trick but, over this longer trip, WITH GRACE looks a safer option. Peter Bowen's six-year-old didn't stay 2m6f at Newton Abbot last month but was a solid third over 2m3f at the same track on her hurdling debut and last month's win over a shorter distance suggests she is still on the upgrade. Dropped in class, the potentially well-treated Laureate Des Loges must also go on the short-list and Loch Dhu is improving judged on a very easy win over C&D four weeks ago.
