This marathon distance will take some getting today but Wilde Ruby has ground and trip in her favour and makes plenty of appeal after a third at Exeter. Nigel Twiston-Davies runs the unexposed He's The Daddy but son Sam rides SAIL AND RETURN and Phil Middleton's gelding gets the nod with Uttoxeter conqueror Green Wizard having won easily since. Ukrainian Star and Ahead Ahead may be the best of those nearer the foot of the weights but veteran chaser Knighton Combe has it all to do under his welter burden.
