Our Three Sons scrambled home over course and distance last month but third Get The Appeal was only beaten a length and is 2lb better off so there should be little between the pair today. Jen's Boy didn’t appear to stay when well behind Presenting Yeats over a similar trip at Hereford in the autumn but the latter has claims. Kapitaliste and LOVED OUT both try this trip for the first time but both give the impression they will last home. The latter has run well on both previous visits here so gets a tentative vote.
