Hernandoshideaway was hampered at Chester but probably still wouldn't have beaten NOT NEVER had he had a clear run. Hugo Palmer's fast-improving charge has every chance of completing his hat-trick here. Subcontinent is another arriving in fine form but will need a career-best effort to secure the four-timer. Salisbury maiden winner Fabricate is open to further improvement and has more scope than The Lampo Genie and Captain Navarre while Brotherly Company wasn't disgraced over 1m2f at Newmarket last time, though whether he'll be suited by this longer trip is uncertain.
