Hierarch went close at Lingfield last time and has been given a chance by the handicapper allowed to race off the same mark here. May's Boy is better off at the weights with BREAKHEART for a neck defeat over C&D last week. But the latter's apprentice was winning for the second time at this track on that occasion and his experience could give Andrew Balding's charge the edge once again. Sudden Wish is another with claims though this looks tougher than his recent placed efforts and Divine Rule's latest second came in a seller.
