This has attracted a big field but it will be a surprise if MOVEWITHTHETIMES (NAP) isn’t good enough to concede weight all round given the Fontwell scorer had no luck in-running in a Cheltenham Grade 2 last month yet was beaten under four lengths. Gannicus didn’t build on a promising first run at Kempton when well beaten at Ludlow but Hidden Cargo should improve on his fifth at Newbury and Ridgeway Flyer is surely better than he showed at Ascot, though dropping in trip may not be the answer. Le Coeur Net could be interesting once qualified for handicaps.
