Lord Of The East is selected to land the hat-trick at the expense of Pic Up Sticks, Golden Dixie and Sabrina Brown, with Katiypour also worth a mention. It is hard to knock Lord Of The East at present, as he followed up a fluent Doncaster victory off a five-pound higher mark at Ayr last time, and has no problem over today's trip of six furlongs. His lucky owners may be in for another pay day here as he bids to shrug off the burden of topweight, and in his current mood there must be every chance that he will crack out and make all again. Pic Up Sticks finally ended a losing drought when successful over the course and distance last time, and even with a six-pound penalty he remains well in compared to last year. Golden Dixie ran a blinder in the Ayr Silver Cup and is on the short-list for a place at least, while Sabrina Brown won well at Pontefract despite flashing her tail. Coconut Squeak has found one or two too good of late but has the assistance of Eddie Ahern so is yet another to consider along with Katiypour who was not far behind Serre Chevalier over seven furlongs here last time. Lord Of The East could not be in better fettle at present though and is the pick.
