THE YANK is not easy to catch right but is 3lb lower than when only finding one too good here in October and he wasn’t beaten far under Harry Stock back over fences at Stratford last time. Samson ran his best race to date at Uttoxeter three weeks ago and is a big danger with that form having been franked, though the drop in distance is a worry. Vif Argent is thrown in on past form and Heurtevent seems to like it here and is 20lb lower than well beaten in this 12 months ago. Hurricane Rita could figure if forgiven a poor run at Market Rasen and Accessallareas and Alys Rock have form here so can’t be ignored.
