Bull Market has won twice on Turf, both times on this track. He's been racing over hurdles and with Serena Brotherton in the saddle has to be respected. Brouhaha won over a slightly shorter trip here in September and though not in that kind of form is 5lb lower so must be a threat to all. Amana often goes well in these kind of races and Becky Brisbourne won on her at Warwick last summer but this really revolves around whether PTOLOMEOS can handle the ground. All three of his career victories have been gained with plenty of give including his facile success at Nottingham a fortnight ago for which he's been handed an 11lb rise but in the hope he can act in the conditions he's the one to be on.
