It could pay to stick with the progressive MY TARGET (NAP) in this. Michael Wighm's charge completed a hat-trick of course and distance wins with the minimum of fuss three weeks ago and there looks even more to come. Several of these have fallen victim to the selection and re-oppose on better terms including Third Time Lucky, who has won at Wolverhampton subsequently while Alfred Hutchinson, Sea of Flames and Lunar Deity are others looking to reverse running. Chevallier bids for a treble off a 4lb higher mark having won lower grade races at the track while Bunbury has also been raised 4lb after going close over 1m2f at Chelmsford.
