Several arrive in top form including Dembe, who overcame a tardy start at Lingfield to complete a hat-trick. Got No Dollars won over track and trip before scoring over 6f at Chelmsford though is upped in class and THAPA VC (NAP) may be the one to stick with. The latter also recorded a treble when successful here last time but still looks favourably treated only 6lb higher than when starting his winning run. Sayifyouwill made a winning reappearance from an inside draw here last month but is drawn high today off a 5lb higher mark.
