Monsieur Lambrays won this last year but was arriving on the back of a victory and hasn't been in that kind of form. Greengage has won four of her last five though she's 20lb higher than when her winning run began and has never raced over a trip this far. GHADBBAAN has been a beaten favourite three times since scoring over 1m6f at Thirsk but was unlucky in-running over this track and trip last time so looks the one to beat. Ernesto has been in excellent form over hurdles while Bollin Neil can be relied on to run his race though some rain would help his cause.
