Divine Folly, Bedrock Fred and Celtic Intrigue have all been running between the flags. The latter is probably the most interesting of that trio with Tom Scudamore teaming up with David Bridgwater but he looks to be facing a stiff task against the in-form PATRICKTOM BORU. An easy winner over a shorter trip here last month, he followed up over hurdles at Stratford and can complete the hat-trick despite a 9lb rise in the weights. Sterling Gent failed to score over hurdles but may do better at this game and Sam Twiston-Davies keeps the partnership intact.
