Aye Aye Digby won this in 2012 but hasn't raced since September and Noverre To Go was last seen at the track in the same month. Lujeanie won an amateurs' race at Wolverhampton last time and has every chance along Kuanyao, who was partnered by Louis Steward when landing a similar event here in February. However, the latter's 5lb allowance could swing things the way of TOUCH THE CLOUDS today and it's William Stone's course and distance winner that gets the vote with a comeback run at Nottingham under his belt.
