Surface: T
LARAVIE (1) has swiftly taken advantage of his generous opening flat mark and looks a solid choice to land the four-timer here. Easy victory over 2m1f at Pontefract last time by 4. 75L. Likely to go on from the front and will take some pegging back. BETELGEUSE (2) claimed second spot twice already this season. Below best fifth however beaten 7L at this track last time. Mark eased after that defeat which is a positive. Likeliest danger to the main selection. CAPTAIN BRETT (3) undermined his chance with slow starts last twice so may find this small-field scenario more in favour. Course and distance winner last summer.
