Oriental Express has been in fine form of late and is taken to land his hat-trick. Charlie Thornton has placed her well and she looks ahead of the handicapper at present. Irie Rasta also heads for the treble but the handicapper has been less lenient and he may well be struggling to hand weight all around. Froglet reopposes the selection today and will have benefitted from a confidence boosting victory at Carlisle. It is doubtful as to quite whether she is one of the stable stars at Sir Mark Prescott's.
