FOLLOW THE TRACKS has run here twice and completed a double in the spring. He's 5lb higher than his last victory but should be capable of going in again. He easily holds Midnight Sequel on the latter of those victories and though Minella Bliss scored at Ludlow last week he doesn't win very often and a 5lb rise may be enough to scupper his chances of a quick double. Oscar Jane looks more of a threat as she's been raised 10lb for an impressive all the way victory at Towcester a week ago but comes here with a 7lb penalty. I'm In Charge has won three times over fences but is still a maiden over timber which is why he's 10lb lower.
