Red Tornado has been cleverly placed to rattle up a hat-trick and Dan Skelton's four-year-old will be popular again here, despite a double penalty – Bridget Andrews' claim helps ease his welter burden. But, at the likely odds, NO WIN NO FEE may be worth a small wager to upset the top weight as he quickened best to get off the mark at Huntingdon last time and his Flat speed will be asset here if there isn't a strong gallop. Devon Drum and Jewelled Prince may benefit when tried in handicaps but Mash Potato hasn't shown much so far.
