Three Faces West carries a double penalty for victories at Ayr and Carlisle and may struggle to complete the hat-trick giving 6lb to A VOS GARDES. Charlie Longdon's Doncaster winner couldn't quite match the finishing kick of the useful Different Gravey in a Listed race at Huntingdon last month but was only beaten three lengths and that is easily the best form on offer in this. A return to 2m4f will suit Wild Bill and he's the pick of the remainder though Mr Beatle, who has shown promise in a couple of bumper runs, is worth monitoring for future reference.
