For Three hasn’t raced since recording a double at Perth last July and had wind surgery in January though, like Lord Caprio, is seeking a third win on this track. The latter needs to bounce back from a couple of disappointing efforts but did beat Go Fox here back in August. Serious Ego is often thereabouts but CUP OF COFFEE looks well treated on her defeat of the useful Rainyday Woman at Ludlow in the autumn and this stiff 2m is probably what she needs. Paddy The Horse looks best of the rest.
