The Fahey stable is mob-handed in this with Ripon winner Carnageo preferred to Cadeau Magnifique among their four runners. Zoffanys Pride has twice gone down to narrow defeats recently but still gets in off bottom weight, despite a 4lb rise. Marsh Pride will have her stamina to prove but her latest third at Musselburgh came in a higher grade while Save The Bees returned to winning ways at Nottingham. The handicapper was clearly impressed when HIBOU won on the bit at Redcar last week as he's raised him 10lb. But Iain Jardine's gelding looks to be on a steep upward curve and is still unexposed over this trip so can follow up. Richie Mccaw is lightly raced and could run into a place.
