Oh So Saucy and Arabian Spirit both look nicely-handicapped however NINTH HOUSE comes here in better form and is given the nomination. Ruth Carr's experienced eight-year-old was unlucky in his run at Doncaster last time out and off the same mark today he looks sure to go close. This track should suit his running style and with Eddie Ahern booked a big run is expected. Yabtree is rated a big danger after a good win at Newmarket last month and he is just 4lbs higher today, whilst Timber Treasure is a course winner but he has stamina issues over this trip and is taken on despite the booking of Richard Hughes. Star Addition shaped with more promise last time and is respected, as is Arabian Spirit who needs some rain to take part, whilst Oh So Saucy is out of form but may find some improvement for this longer trip. War And Peace ran a better race at Chester last time out when stopped twice in his run and is far from discounted, however along with Astrodonna and Music Maestro we are happy to take him on with Ninth House.
