Present Trend won under Ross Chapman at Worcester last month but is 7lb higher and is not the most consistent. Bassarabad has been second three times but was only fourth when starting favourite here back in May, though has been dropped 5lb since. LOULOUMILLS is back in the right grade after a recent third at Wetherby and she looks the logical option, despite being 8lb higher than when second at Sedgefield last month. Wicked Games may have each-way claims but the rest are harder to fancy with Momkinzain reverting to type at Hexham after winning here previously.
