The going looks a bit lively for Very Live but Arboretum won on good ground at Huntingdon and Danny McMenamin takes off 7lb again. Misdflight struggles to get his head in front but is guaranteed support for a strong trainer/jockey combination while L'Es Fremantle is the only course and distance winner in the line-up. MINELLA VOUCHER could do with some rain and never threatened when third here in February but this looks a lesser contest so Adam Wedge’s mount gets another chance.
