Last year's winner BEYONDTEMPTATION arrives in the best form as she bids for a hat-trick. She has a 10lb hike to contend with but won easily enough at Catterick last time and all of today's opposition have been struggling of late. Morning With Ivan is now back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best while Roja Dove's only win in over two years came in a selling hurdle. This Thyne Jude has not won anything yet and was well beaten in a maiden hurdle last time.
