The front-running Overlaw has been finding longer trips stretching his stamina after completing a double at around this distance last March and will probably be difficult to catch. However, BRUSHFORD won this a year ago before going on to complete a double on the course a couple of weeks later and looked on the way back to form at Lingfield last time. Chris Gordon's charge has a little bit of scope and can take this, though Wishes Or Watches may prove troublesome as he ran well at Plumpton last week and is on a fair mark. Randjo made a winning start over fences at Wincanton in May but has let supporters down when a beaten favourite on his two subsequent starts.
