Carnivore, Daweitza and Hiccups are the three to look at here and Carnivore is taken to notch up another win. Daweitza had been knocking on the door with some consistent efforts before scoring on the all weather last time. That was only her second win but she should not be underestimated. After a losing run, Hiccups bounced back to form with a decisive win at Thirsk last time. That was his first real sign of form for some time but if he re-produces that effort he must go close. After wins at Musselburgh and Newcastle, Carnivore ran well to be a close second last time in a similar event. He is in good form and looks set to go well again. Receiving weight from his principal rivals, Carnivore is taken to come out on top.
