Orwellian has a penalty to contend with as he bids for a hat-trick after a narrow margin victory at Redcar. He had Premier Choice a couple of lengths behind and should be in the firing-line once again but DUKE OF ARICABEAU is preferred. The latter has been competing in better company since winning in this grade at Doncaster in June and is taken to return to winning ways off a 4lb higher mark. Ambitious Icarus has plenty to find with the selection on earlier running though he's since gone close at Ripon while Star Kingdom is struggling to take advantage of a rapid slide down the weights.
