Spiritual Man and Knight Commander have been racing on the all-weather but the former has yet to score over timber and the latter last won over hurdles in 2017. Cottonvale still hasn’t won under any code yet after 25 attempts but Hear The Chimes had been in good form until a poor effort at Fakenham last time. Market Road has won over fences this year and could go well off his current mark but GOLDRAPPER is one of the least exposed and after finishing well ahead of Sinakar when runner-up at Huntingdon recently, he gets the vote to go one better.
