Hero Again, Seafield Bogie, Sky Lark and Cava Bien are the horses to look out for in this competitive qualifier with the vote going to the last named. Cava Bien never knows how to run a bad race and although this looks his toughest task to date he looks to be improving. This four year old was in winning form at Worcester last time out when beating Painter Man by seven lengths. He looked impressive that day and more is still to come. Seafield Bogie has won his last two races under rules and the most recent win at Market Rasen when beating Delightful Clich¿y eleven lengths looked good as a consequence he has six pounds to give to some nice types. Hero Again would be one of those after his recent success at Towcester. That was an improved effort but more may be needed once again while Sky Lark won nicely at Wincanton last month and is another to note in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Cava Bien.
