Hurricane Volta can be forgiven last month's run in Spain and has the form to figure in a race like this. Lily Trotter could give a boost to Zenafire's Haydock win earlier on the card while course winner The Kid is running well enough to get involved. Lingfield second Taurian is another to consider, though that form has taken a few knocks since. CAPTAIN GEORGE ran way above expectations here last time but is only 2lb higher and a similar performance would put him the firing-line. Dream Ruler may be best of the rest.
