Tony Carroll and Lee Edwards are a powerful combination but their representative here, Le Corvee, has twice finished a long way behind CHRYSANDER recently and appears well held. Evan Williams' charge blundered his way round in a chase at Hereford last time and is much better judged on earlier victories over timber in this grade. Danny Zuko won a handicap at Bangor on fast ground last summer and will be better for a recent run there though he was beaten a long way. The four-year-old Leopard Hills won a seller here a couple of weeks ago but will find these rivals slightly tougher.
