Hedging carries a 5lb penalty for a comfortable victory on the track last week, his third success here, so it will be a surprise if he's not in contention again. Field of Vision has had 14 starts since last winning and is 21lb lower so comes into consideration after a good run on heavy ground at Leicester. Confrerie landed a course and distance double in the summer though on fast going but LADY MORPHEUS looks to have a fair chance. Gary Moore's filly landed an Epsom handicap before a good second here then had no chance on the wrong side at Lingfield and Richard Kingscote takes over from an apprentice. Dalness Express and Your Choice were engaged at Kempton last night.
