Mini Muck won at Leicester on Thursday over a similar trip. Ryan Hatch's claim takes care of her penalty and she won't be far away if fully recovered. Monderon beat a good yardstick at Towcester two weeks ago and is another with solid claims while Rigolo Ville belatedly got off the mark at Exeter last month, though is 6lb higher here and far from certain to confirm that form with third Matako. PORTOFINO WASP is only a four-year-old and lightly raced. He looked ready for a step up in trip when third to Rosie Probert at Worcester in July and an absence since is unlikely to be a problem given connections.
