The progressive ORIENT CLASS is upped a further 7lb as he bids for hat-trick but won with a bit in hand at Haydock last time and is versatile as regards the ground. Paul Midgley’s charge is drawn low along with Ladweb, a winner on soft ground at Sandown, and Fumbo Jumbo is usually thereabouts in this grade. I'll Be Good won well at Chester last time and is preferred to stablemate General Alexander, who drops back in distance today, while Richard Fahey’s duo are both drawn high with Giddy making more appeal than Arctic Feeling. Beverley winner Hilary J is still improving, Geno and Bossipop have a shout and Rural Celebration is not out of this either having slid down the weights this year.
