Gun Shoot won this back in 2013 but that was her only all-weather victory in 20 starts. Shake The Bucket has won twice over hurdles this summer and has a good record here though he may find this on the short side these days. The veteran King Of Aran has returned from a two-year absence in decent form on Turf though could do with an ease in the ratings but the lightly-raced LUNADA has run well here and has the potential to do better so is handed the vote. Neither Gibson Park nor Bert Leaf have won a race and Norville, who will be having his 87th start, has never raced over a trip this far.
