Super Collider and Descaro are closely matched on today's terms after finishing first and second at Worcester last week. They should be thereabouts again while Not Til Monday won at Stratford and Fakenham before finishing third over today's course and distance last month. He is another with solid claims as he should reverse that latest form with second Ghaabesh on better terms. MOUNT HOPE drops into this grade for the first time but needs to recapture the form he showed in the winter to get his head in front. We'll take him to do just that and he gets the nod.
