Verdict
Tom Dascombe has won this a couple of times in the last six years and has two runners. Imdancinwithurwife was successful at Wolverhampton last time but Fiery Character is preferred having made a winning start at Newmarket last month. She’s likely to prove a popular choice in this along with Copper Knight, a runner-up at Windsor recently when ahead of previous winner Awesome Allan. The latter’s stablemate Letmestopyouthere won easily in soft going at Nottingham on his latest start but STONEYFORD LANE could prove a bit of value. He made a winning start at Bath for Steph Hollinshead despite missing the break and the runner-up has since boosted the form by scoring at the same track.
