Tokaramore arrives on a hat-trick but has had a break and she won’t enjoy any give in the ground. Raecius Felix is well treated on past form but ran poorly here two weeks ago and seems better over shorter. Shanbally Rose is having a first run over fences so this can go to RAPID RAIDER, who has gone up another 7lb but won over 3m between the flags and seems to be on an upward curve. Six One Nine was second at Sedgefield last month but has a much longer trip to cope with here.
