Paul Hanagan was on board when MAKBULLET scored over the C&D ten days ago and the combination can strike again from a 6lb higher mark as the soft ground will be ideal. Orpsie Boy has won ten races in his career but never on ground with give unlike Kingswinford, who scored over a mile on good to soft at Chester in July. Fast Shot is unproven in the conditions and though he scored on good ground at Doncaster in July he's now 12lb higher. Gap Princess has a chance at the weights though she's another who has done better on quicker going and Mandalay KIng has never won beyond 6f in a long career though he wasn't stopping when an excellent fourth in the Bronze Cup at Ayr last time.
