Miss Ferney would prefer faster ground and last month's 2m winner at Catterick, Mohawk Ridge, looks up against it off his current mark. Harvey's Hope is a recent winner over hurdles but that came on a quick surface and River Dragon hasn't raced since April. TOBRATA has been placed in soft ground over shorter trips, notably at Pontefract last month, and he gets the token vote with Silvestre De Sousa's booking taking the eye. Royal Trooper could prove best of the rest.
