Already placed over 1m6f, LILY TROTTER would have caught Zenafire in another couple of strides over 1m4f at Haydock last time. She's only a pound higher here and probably the one to beat if she lasts home. Coeur de Lion will definitely appreciate the extra distance and looks a danger on his handicap debut. For Goodness Sake has been running well over hurdles so is another to consider but Sunday Royal still hasn't won a race, despite a number of near-misses. Recent Chepstow scorer Danglydontask won this last year but has 6lb more to carry this time.
