Sir Mark Prescott can boast an impressive strike rate with his rare three-year-old runners at this track and FIRE FIGHTER fits the bill having landed a double at Folkestone recently. Talented but quirky, the Tiger Hill colt usually does as he's told for Seb Sanders and he can steer him to the hat-trick. Jeu De Roseau is up 4lb for his recent victory at Newcastle where he reversed earlier running with Tilleitudlem, while Riptide and Golden Future filled the places behind Beat The Shower, who has won again since, at Thirsk last time with Simple Jim, Puy D 'Arnac and Bulwark further behind. Finellas Fortune is another to consider.
