Chairmanoftheboard won on soft going at Haydock in October when beating Woven with BERGERAC further behind. But the latter has a recent run under his belt and, having won off a similar mark on faster ground at York in September, Kevin Ryan’s charge should go close today. Ey Up It's Maggie finished behind the selection on the Knavesmire before winning over the minimum trip at Leicester while Spring Bloom rattled up a frustrating sequence of placed efforts last season. Wentworth Falls won this back in 2017 but Devil's Angel and Tipperary Tiger are preferred fresh from the all-weather.
