Verdict

Trading Trouble can complete a hat-trick at the expense of Great Jane, Highglen and Billy Bray. Trading Trouble jumped really well when scoring at Wetherby last time, defying a 6lb rise in the process, and as John Wade's charge has come back to form and seems to handle any ground, another victory is very much on the cards here. Great Jane justified favouritism in fine style at Ayr, and at the age of five should have a bright future. However, she did not beat much last time, so we should not go overboard about the form. Highglen has to give weight away to the selection but it would be no surprise if he were to reach the frame at least, while Billy Bray has gone off the boil of late but has the ability to take a hand. Hutch nestles on 10st but has a bit to find along with Michaels Dream, and so Trading Trouble makes by far the most appeal, even with his 7lb penalty.
