Lerichi Belle can take a fierce hold and is upped in trip but James King is among the most experienced amateurs in this race. Show's Over’s recent win came over hurdles but a case can be made for both Damut I'm Out and Prettylittlething with Millie Wonnacott claiming 7lb of the latter. SHININSTAR won here last season and later at Stratford. If fully wound-up, John Groucott’s 10-year-old looks the one to be on as Glimpse Of Gold has shown little so far over fences.
