HILDEN has rather lost the plot since winning at Downpatrick in June but she's Gordon Elliott's only runner here today and still looks the one to beat in a weak-looking seller with the talented Sean Bowen taking off 5lb. Noble Bacchus has only managed one place in 13 previous starts so the danger looks to be Solitary Girl, third in a handicap at Fontwell last time and dropping into this grade for the first time. The Selector also has the form to figure but rarely runs two races alike.
