MR VANGO (1) bids for a hat-trick after wins at Sandown (3m4 3/4f) and Haydock (3m1 3/4f) raised 3lb to a career-high rating. Appears to still be on the upgrade. Good claims. APPLE AWAY (2) was a hurdle G1 winner. Gradually improving with fences and latest second in a 3m4 1/2f premier handicap at Haydock suggested this test will suit. Leading contender from near-identical mark. TANGANYIKA (6) is another seeking three in a row. Retains untapped potential over extreme distances. KNOCKANORE (12) managed to win the Eider Chase (4m1 1/2f) last time and now 10lb higher will relish this test.
