Western Wave looked on the way back to form when runner-up at Leicester and should be winning again soon while Camron De Chaillac only just failed to lose his maiden tag at Wincanton and a repeat would see him in the firing line. DR DUNRAVEN was having his first start for Martin Keighley when just failing to get up at Uttoxeter and with that under his belt can go one better and gain his first success. Scales is the only course and distance winner in the line-up though his latest victory came in a seller while Prince Mahler's success here in April was over 3m on fast ground.
