Jane Williams won this last year and CAPTAIN MARVELLOUS should follow suit for the yard after a very promising debut behind three-time winner Gifted Angel over the course and distance last month, when he would have gone close but for a couple of errors. Billytherealbigred finished runner-up in a four-runner race at Stratford then unseated at the second at Hereford when Great Valley ran out at the last while under pressure. Push To Pass hails from a yard in top form though is bred to be a staying chaser but Goodwin Face is a half-brother to a couple of winning hurdlers.
