David O’Meara has won two of the last three renewals though Safran will need to improve on her recent efforts. BUNGLEY is preferred on last month’s short-head defeat over course and distance, though Harry Love has placed on the all-weather recently and blinkers are applied while the veteran Twin Appeal won one of these events at Catterick back in May. Kraken Florida also has a chance at the weights.
