MR STRUTTER's eleven career victories include five around here and he completed a track and trip double last month. He doesn't win by far so is only up 3lb and a hat-trick beckons. He's closely matched with Hachert, who was beaten less than a length when they were 1-2 here and will be 4lb better off. Klopp Of The Kopp is also on a three-timer after victories at Ayr and Beverley, the latest a claimer. He should get into the action while Aliento won here in September and was only beaten a neck on a return visit last month. Swinging Eddie was racing in much better company at York last time.
