SLEEP EASY won a shade cosily at Lingfield last time and the hat-trick beckons for Hughie Morrison's charge despite a further 6lb rise. Bari goes well for Mikey Ennis and and is preferred to recent winning hurdler Gran Maestro while Hubertas went very close at Catterick on his latest start, though is upped in class today. Medina Sidonia appeared to find 2m beyond him last time and today's trip should better suit.
