The Tim Vaughan stable has enjoyed an upswing in fortunes this season and field two with strong chances. Twilight Glory looks the stable choice on jockey bookings but does need to be forgiven a disappointing effort latest. In contrast, stable companion AIRTOTHETHRONE ran really well at Chepstow last time and has generally taken well to chasing. Charlie Price claims the 3lb and the combination handled the soft well enough on that latest run. Eceparti is slowly inching down the weights and looks dangerous after running well here twice this year, though losing run stretches back to 2019. Patient Owner disappointed last time but has every chance if bouncing back.
