Lady Scathach may struggle to complete her hat-trick under a penalty and Joseph has an interesting contender in this with Aced It. He’s been very lightly raced and is dropped in trip on his first start for the yard. Will Be King came unstuck last time and may be too high in the weights now but Royal Canford looks to be running into form so goes on the shortlist. Lightning Amber is tried in a visor and doesn’t have many miles on the clock but HIGH ALTITUDE was back on song at Killarney 12 days ago so gets the nod.
