EXPOSE has really found his form and can complete a hat-trick. He landed the Bronze Cup at Ayr last week and should again take care of third-placed My Name Is Rio with Jordan Nason taking 5lb off his back. Cruise Tothelimit, who was on a hat-trick in that event, was well beaten but holds Bop It on his earlier victory at Thirsk. Captain Bob has won twice, both times over 7f, but has enough pace to get competitive as does Apricot Sky, who won over the minimum trip here three weeks ago but is equally effective over today's distance. Run With Pride has had very little experience which may count against him in this big field.
