Airglow didn’t really handle the Fibresand at Southwell and is better judged on an earlier fourth at Ripon, though that was over 6f. Lathom seems to be in the handicapper’s grip now but Wild Edric produced a new career best at Chester and Somewhere Secret has been in good form over 5f recently and has a good record here. SHOW PALACE bids for a fourth win here and also arrives in good form so can reverse running 12 months ago with Bellevarde and Major Pusey as he loves the mud. Marietta Robusti easily won a lesser contest here four weeks ago so is preferred to Cool Spirit and Cool Spirit of the others.
