Jimmy Moffatt saddles two in this but Charlotte Jones has opted to stick with NATIVE FIGHTER even though the seven-year-old’s latest victory here came over a much longer trip. Golden Town often flatters to deceive while Fiesole and Cotton End are closely matched on Aintree running. Beeno has won here six times but has been looking a light of former days lately. Sea Prince remains unexposed, however, while Irish raider Mig Des Taillons, Iolani and Snookered have been running on the Flat.
