Verdict

Bumper winner So Proud showed more when third at Worcester in May and is of interest on his handicap bow, but the one who appeals most is NO MORE BOLERO. James Owen's charge failed to complete the hat-trick when hitting the woodwork at Market Rasen, but that was still a creditable effort and he remains the one to beat. Three-time course winner Motazzen is another to watch out for.

Top Tip: No More Bolero (3)
Watch out for: So Proud (4)

A tight contest where most of the field can be given a chance. ASK A SAINTE lost his action last time but prior to that he had proven progressive and his form has been franked so he is picked to quickly bounce back. Bumper winner So Proud proved steadily progressive in novices over what looked an inadequate 2m. Stepping up in trip on his handicap bow he may prove the biggest danger ahead of the progressive No More Bolero. That rival was only narrowly denied in his hat trick bid last time but he did appear outstayed over 2m2f so this longer trip is a slight concern.
