ORPENINDEED has won three times here including a similar contest when last seen at the track back in October. Favoured by the weights on his return, he can take this if anywhere near his best. Apache Ridge also won here on his latest start but will do well to get the better of the selection on these terms while Ingleby Star can boast seven victories to date but all over the minimum trip. Northern Dare hasn't won for some time now and is dropped in grade here as a result.
