Vinegar Hill has a good strike-rate and Truckers Glory is not out of this, even though a recent win at Ffos Las came over 2m4f. Some Are Lucky is still edging up the weights but should have more to offer this season and makes more appeal than Worcester second Be Seeing You and the disappointing First Fandango. Wizards Bridge, Silver Eagle and SO FINE have all been chasing but the latter was placed off a higher mark when last seen over hurdles and collateral form gives him the beating of Max Forte – he can give Philip Hobbs a second successive win in this.
