A couple of favourites have obliged in the last 10 years but a big price winner is more the norm. Johnny Murtagh keeps the ride on Oriental Fox after winning the trial for this three weeks ago though the latter found Tiger Cliff too good in the Ebor earlier in the season and Lady Cecil's charge is preferred. French raider Smoky Hill is a shorter price than EARTH AMBER despite coming out much the same horse on collateral form. Any further rain will suit Nicky Henderson's charge and she gets a speculative vote as she makes more appeal than stablemate Lieutenant Miller. The latter is closely matched with Broxbourne on running at Goodwood while Pallasator looks to have been laid out for this after a decent comeback run at Haydock and may well reverse latest running with Platinum. Domination has been in fine form over hurdles in Ireland of late and Waterclock and Albert Bridge could go well at big prices along with Recession Proof, expected to improve with a recent outing under his belt.
