WILLIES WAY was good value for his win at Southwell last week and the Andy Haynes-trained gelding has every chance of following up and recording his third win in his last four starts and he gets the vote to do just that with the main threats looking to be Celebrity Call and Henri Prends Garde. The last mentioned has found just the one too good in each of his last two starts and he has to be respected but an 8lb rise for those two runs looks likely to prevent him from going one better. Ticket To Ride has dropped to a decent mark and could be of interest if fit enough for his first outing since March, while Cold Harbour remains a maiden after 10 career starts and is probably best left out of calculations. Charlie Longsdon's Brize Norton has yet to confirm that he stays this far and of more interest may be What Luck, who is closely matched with the selection on running at Bangor last month. Willies Way is very much the form horse of the race though and he is hard to oppose with conditions again to suit.
