Significant rain would improve the chances of Hamilton winner Bollin Felix but if the ground stays on top then OUTRAGEOUS REQUEST may be the one to side with. He looked in need of this further step up in trip when chasing home a subsequent winner in Colloquial at Sandown and has the scope for further improvement. Wells Lyrical may just need this run whilst Plymouth Rock and Cotillion haven't always impressed with their attitude. Keenes Day has dropped to a nice mark having struggled for form this season whilst Veiled was progressive when last seen and impressed over hurdles in the winter.
