Medburn Cutler completed a track and trip double last summer and had enough pace to score over 1m4f at Leicester last week, though the ground was very testing and he has a 6lb penalty to contend with. Willem has been chasing without much luck but has won over hurdles and won't have a problem with ground or trip. OUR FOLLY has won over the course and distance and though that was a long time ago he's generally run well on the track so he gets the nod in a moderate contest. Nine-times winner Riptide hasn't scored for two years but the veteran Urban Space stepped up to this trip for the first time on his 68th start here earlier this month and gained the 10th victory of his career so there's no reason why he shouldn't produce another big effort.
