Verdict

It's remarkable that HIGHSTREETFASHION is on a mark of 81 after completing a double here and at Down Royal. His regular partner can only claim 4lb here so this is tougher but a hat-trick looks on the cards. Made In The Woods is another on a very lowly mark and was having only his second start over fences when runner-up at Limerick last month while Earths Furies showed his liking for heavy ground on the latter track last time and his rider is great value for his claim. Huit Reflets has never won and makes his chasing debut while Soloman Lane has no form on ground this testing.
