Like the first division this is hard to solve so watch the market but, hopefully like the first division, Mick Channon may be the man to follow and we'll do that by siding with COUNTRY WALTZ. She benefitted from a forceful ride to win at Leicester and this represents a drop in grade, so providing forcing tactics are once adopted she should go close to defying a 5lb rise. Her stablemate Crown Ridge is one of a host of dangers, including Je Suis Unrockstar who has attracted support and seemed to improve for cheekpieces at Beverley. Roman Strait will enjoy the ground as should Regal Bullet, Magic Cross has winning form in the bag and conditions to suit while Slumbering Sioux and Hernando Torres are capable of better than they've shown so far.
