There are some dour stayers facing the starter in this including Dawson City, the winner in 2019, and Samuel Jackson, who was successful 12 months ago and can race off the same mark despite a couple of encouraging runs this term. It’s a while since THE TWO AMIGOS got his head in front but he is finally back on a winning mark and David Prichard’s 5lb claim could be a massive plus on the prevailing ground. Snuff Box goes for the hat-trick and Lucy Turner’s claim takes care of a penalty while Captain Drake is well treated on last season’s form. Classic Ben was leading when falling here last month and cheekpieces are tried on The Late Legend, who has form over track and trip and is 2lb lower than when last successful. Pemberley, in touch when falling at Lingfield, and Wayfinder are others to consider along with Who's In The Box.
