Espada is on a long losing sequence but is well treated at present and has held his form well of late including a close fourth behind tedstale in the Thirsk Hunt Cup last time. Supreme Salutation was disappointing on the same card but had previously shown himself capable of going close in this type of event with solid displays at Musselburgh and over course and distance. Peyto Princess shaped as though she would appreciate the extra furlong when a strong finishing second at Nottingham while the same comment applies to Uhoomagoo after a fine Salisbury effort last week. Tancred Arms is at the right end of the handicap and is another to consider after running well in defeat last time having scored over this trip at Newcastle previously.
