Lean And Keen won twice over hurdles last summer and has returned to the Flat in fine shape, leading for a long way on both recent starts. He's up again in the weights but should still prove difficult to pass. He holds Unsinkable on their run here last month but BOBBY JEAN has also been in cracking form on ground with plenty of give and overcame trouble in-running to score at the Curragh on Monday when Northern Surprise was behind. She's been raised 7lb but Tom Madden claims most of the extra back and this looks another good opportunity. Beau Satchel completed a hat-trick last summer and has continued to run well though she's been beaten off lower marks in her last three starts.
