Supercast, Hucking Heat and Saviour Sand are all course and distance winners and have to be respected but so too is BROUHAHA and Tom Dascombe's gelding is taken to make it three on the bounce here racing off just a 3lb higher mark than when successful last time. Nicky Vaughan's Supercast won well here three starts ago but was very disappointing when returned here last time so looks best watched. Saviour Sand has not had a great deal of racing of late and Reg Hollinshead's Hucking Heat has more solid claims of the other course and distance winners having been running consistently well of late and he should again be thereabouts. Alan McCabe's Monfils Monfils ran better here last time and has to be considered off a fair mark, while Surprise Pension comes here fit from hurdling and cannot be discounted first time out on the Polytrack. Brouhaha has shown improved form for racing on the surface and he is taken to make it three out of three here.
