CHEESE THE ONE bids for a hat-trick raised 6lb for last month’s course and distance success. But she’s in much better form than today’s opposition and can go in again. My Boy Jack posted a better effort at Wolverhampton last time while Willing To Please has been thereabouts over 7f and Variety Island was placed over the same trip here last month. Ramdon Rocks and Minhaaj may prove best of the rest.
