Donald McCain had a winner here on Saturday and his string has been in good form overall lately. However, Supreme Asset hasn't raced since a well-beaten third at Market Rasen in May. Pekanheim had every chance when second over a longer trip here on Saturday was almost 20 lengths behind Endeavor over this track and trip last month. Safari Journey was only a length-and-a-quarter behind BALLYCOOL at Bangor and is 2lb better off. But Lucinda Egerton's veteran has only won once since 2010 so his old rival is fancied to come out on top again.
