Richard Hannon may hold the key to this saddling three of the nine declared entries. Commander Crouch is firmly back on track and got off the mark over this trip at Southwell while Boyfriend has shown enough to suggest he can win a nursery, though he looks held by Jubilee Walk on the form book. Despite winning two of her last three, LIV MY LIFE shares bottom weight and she wasn’t stopping over 6f last time at Goodwood last time when favourite Pink Satin was only fourth. Fusterlandia keeps knocking on the door and Sonmarg isn’t badly treated on his handicap debut but Ebt's Guard and Innvincible Friend may need to drop a few pounds.
