Six of these are course and distance winners but five are drawn in double figures which just leaves Hello Girl. Nigel Tinkler's mare just got up to catch UNDERCOVER BROTHER here in June but had much the better of the draw that day and the latter can gain revenge and kick-start a double for local handler Les Eyre. The five-year-old has since won at Southwell and been beaten a neck at Newcastle so arrives in top form and has a nice inside berth. Royal Brave is another well berthed and though consistent enough is on a long losing run as is ten-times winner Alsvinder, though the latter is on his lowest-ever mark on his 51st start. Dapper Man has also taken a tumble in the weights and is 10lb lower than when completing a four-timer last summer.
