Favourites have won six of the past nine renewals of this race so it would be prudent to keep a close eye on the market. LUCENTIO (3) arrives off the back of two comfortable showings over course and distance. Clearly on an upward curve and all set to record a hat-trick. REACHING HIGH (1) followed home a subsequent winner at Chelmsford. Addition of a tongue-tie can ensure he makes his presence felt. PARADOXICAL (6) just missed the frame here last time. May sneak into the placings.
