Mr Midaz won well over a shorter trip here last time, but may struggle under his penalty over this longer distance and so we will plump for Harry Hooly, with Jolika the likely danger. Harry Hooly is certainly suited by the ground and trip today, as he finished an excellent third behind Inn From The Cold on heavy ground in November. He didn't do as well over over a longer trip at Hexham next time but back over his favoured distance will be hard hard to beat. Jolika is trained by Lennie Lungo and hasn't been seen out since May. However he does seem to go well after a break and does look fairly treated this afternoon. Sue Smith's runner Rival Bidder, a course and distance winner in July should prove best of the remainder, but in a race that will not take too much winning, Harry Hooly just edges the decision
