Fantasy Fighter is chasing a hat-trick but he only just scrapped home last time so might find life tough under his new mark. Brannagh is from a yard in red-hot form but was well held by the re-opposing Cheers For Thea on his last run and will have to really step on that to score. Battlemaiden is now just 1lb worse off than when last in front but looks out of form which leaves the vote landing on WALCOT SQUARE. Roger Charlton's runner got up late to score on his first visit here last time and now just 2lb heavier can follow up in first time blinkers.
