Paul Midgley saddles five of the 12 declared runners, including recent Ripon winner Van Gerwen, but the vote goes to DEBAWTRY, who won on Tapeta in February but probably produced his best run this year on Turf at Beverley when a pound higher than today’s mark. Boudica Bay should figure if on a going day while Tim Easterby looks sure to find a race for three-year-old Albegone in the near future. True Hero, however, is best of the all-weather.
