Verdict
Hydrant has a penalty for last week's success at Beverley and has never won over a trip this far. Leading jumps trainer Alan King had a winner at Royal Ascot last week and his PHANTOM RIVER is worth an interest at this much lower level. The filly is still a maiden but hasn't been beaten far in any of her three runs this season in a higher grade and should stay. Medburn Cutler is back in the right grade and could feature but Cape Spirit is proving frustrating to follow. High Intensity has shown some ability on the all-weather but has only raced once so far on Turf.
