ACCESSALLAREAS has been raised 14lb since completing a double at Southwell but Sarah-Jayne Davies' charge is in such good form that he may be able to complete the hat-trick. Coeur De Fou has been knocking on the door lately, however, and will be a threat but Captain Paulie is hard to predict and Finch Flyer also has questions to answer at present. Maizy Missile is still 4lb higher than for her one and only win over fences.
