Favourites have won the last two runnings of this and the likely 'jolly' ANY REASON can complete a hat-trick for the market leaders, while Earcomesannie is cited as the danger. Any Reason has had two runs under rules since joining trainer Timmy Vaughan, being bogged down in the Stratford mud before going well at Sedgefield last time. She has been crying out for a trip like this on decent ground, and so with that now to her advantage and plenty of improvement likely we'll side with her. Earcomesannie has already proved her stamina and regularly races at around this trip. She has a penchant for soft ground and can get competitive from this mark. Trip and ground suit c&d scorer Full On, who is fresh after a four month break, but who just looks a shade too high in the weights now. Left Hand Drive has two ways of running and save for a Uttoxeter win in July he has been disappointing this season, while Duggan's Force could be the fly-in-the-ointment in first-time blinkers, as he looks open to improvement. Even so, Any Reason looks capable of winning this.
