Van Huysen never seems to run a bad race but struggles to get his head in front. Chosen Character is creeping up the weights again and could be worth opposing away from his beloved Haydock but Hot Mustard, one of three previous course and distance winners in the line-up, looks in decent form and should be winning again soon. GRATZIE is known as an Epsom specialist but she's also won around here. Mick Channon's filly can take advantage of a drop in grade to resume winning ways as this longer trip could be too much for Lingfield fourth Air Of York.
