Dapper Man had leading claims of landing a hat-trick at Haydock yesterday and would carry a double penalty here if successful. ZAC BROWN carries 4lb extra for winning at Salisbury last week but he was scoring off higher marks last year and makes more appeal than recent Newcastle winner Dandy's Beano, who is upped in class. Warrior's Valley is usually thereabouts at this level and is preferred to Big Time Maybe while Something Lucky hasn’t won since landing last year’s renewal but can race off a lower mark today.
