FERN HILL (2) has been in imperious form this season and arrives on a hat-trick after following up a Uttoxeter success with a smooth win over course and distance. Ben Case's ten-year-old is up 3lb but can prove equal to the rising mark by going in once more. DE KINGPIN (1) shaped quite nicely when fourth on his chasing and seasonal bow at Ffos Las last time out and could be a major threat off a 3lb lower mark in this easier company. TRAPISTA (5) wasn't completley disgraced when third over fences at Stratford 45 days ago and might do better for the fitting of first-time cheekpieces. ISLE OF GOLD (3) heads the remainder.
