Veroon just got the better of Norse Blues over track and trip a fortnight ago and they're closely matched once again, while George Guru steps up a grade after scoring at Lingfield on his handicap debut. Good Authority will need to improve on his recent maiden win at Wolverhampton, while Catchanova and Ampleforth should both have done better on her their latest starts. Wiqaaya is not easily dismissed but an open contest can go to QUEEN OF CASH, who has done nothing but improve all year and went close again in a better race at Chester last time.
