The Paul Nicholls team have continued where they left off last season and it is very hard to make a case to oppose Satshoon in his hat-trick bid. He is a most consistent sort and should make the long journey here from Somerset worthwhile for his supporters if he negotiates a clear round. Little Brown Bear can usually be relied upon to run his race and looks to be the best of the rest. Where as Chancers Dante will not have to find much to hold off Kelly's Pride for the final each way slot.
