Plenty of winning form here with both Double Chocolate and Ilewin For Hannah arriving on the back of recent victories, the latter with a hard-fought success over the course and distance. The former could hardly have won more easily at Warwick and will make a bold bid to follow up despite his advancing years. LA MADONNINA (NAP) would have followed last year's victory over 2m5f on this track with another over 3m at Fakenham but for falling at the last. She reappeared after a very long break to score convincingly at Uttoxeter and can complete a quick double. Kimora won a hunters' chase here last year and repeated that victory earlier this month. A mark of 93 looks lenient and she looks a threat to all.
