Conditions look ideal for Dickie Le Davoir and he'll surely strike soon, but BOTHAM's course and distance record reads very well and he gets the vote. Jim Goldie's charge is 3lbs higher than when second here on his penultimate start but he can defy the rise if not getting too far behind. That would be the concern with Dickie Le Davoir too but there's some pace in this race and the pair may sweep past late in the day. Mayoman is a factor with a visor now applied if forgiven a poor Southwell run, Residency will be having his 13th start and hasn't won yet but he is consistent and this isn't strong, while Fasliyanne is quick and Kristen Jane is improving.
