Havelovewilltravel went close despite only finishing third at Lingfield last month but still came back a losing favourite for the second time in succession. She'll likely go close again but SPES NOSTRA could prove better value. The course and distance winner ended last year with a win at Hamilton and a recent outing at Southwell should have blown any cobwebs away. Arlecchino finished ahead of Lean On Pete when runner-up here last time and could figure ahead of Golden Jubilee and My Single Malt, also placed at this track on their latest starts. Prime Exhibit landed a double in lesser company here last month but hasn't threatened since.
