This looks a stronger race than the first division but URTHEONETHATIWANT should still take all the beating. A winner at Kempton in January, he came up just short stepped up to this trip at Taunton last month. Mr Magill was also second over 3m at Taunton three weeks ago while a good run from Avithos in the first division would be a pointer to the chances of Hot Ryan. Eddy, Mauna Kea, Steel Express and veteran American Life are all previous winners around here but Ruby Fool is best watched following a break.
