Whatwouldyouknow won this off a lower mark last year but finished behind third-placed Spirit Of Bowland back here last time. The latter has looked high enough in the weights since landing a hat-trick on Tapeta early in the year but LITTLE TED has won off today’s mark in the past and wasn’t beaten far when fourth over track and trip last month. Mr Heinz has been in good form here and beat My Roxanne on his penultimate start while Possible Ambition could also go well.
