She's Humble and Wishes Or Watches are both previous C&D winners and have to go on the short-list, despite recent disappointments. But the one to beat looks to be Anna Newton-Smith's GORING TWO who won very easily over a longer trip here last month before finishing third to Time To Think in a much stronger contest at the track. Marc Goldstein again takes off 3lb. Curragh Dancer was tailed off at Fontwell last time after winning a three-runner race there earlier and is difficult to predict while Wosayu is tackling fences for the first time having been well beaten in all starts over hurdles.
