Doc Sportello had slid down the weights and took advantage to score over track and trip last time but Choice Encounter missed out on a hat-trick having landed a double here earlier. It remains to be seen if TREACHEROUS fares any better as he also bids for a hat-trick of course wins but he’s been raised only 2lb for his latest success and may prove worth sticking with. Something Lucky has been threatening to score with a string of narrow-margin defeats and can figure once again but Equitation returned a losing favourite last time.
