LION ON THE PROWL had been racing under Rules before landing a point a couple of weeks ago and his overall form should be good enough. Last Minute Notice arrives in good form having won between the flags three weeks ago but Vintage Class looks a bigger threat having won a hunter's chase at Wincanton in February. Delta Borget is consistent enough and finished runner-up in a similar race to this on fast ground here last May. Josh Guerriero will get a tune out of My Nicole, whose recent return after a long absence will have done her good.
