Noble Asset is 7lb higher than when winning this last year with Classy Anne back in fifth. Miss Mullberry is upped 4lb for winning at Thirsk but is still preferred to stablemate Jebediah Shine, who was all out at Beverley to land a hat-trick and is 3lb higher today. El Viento should go well with Paul Hanagan taking over the reins as he attempts to reverse latest running with Cosmic Chatter. The latter has since gone close again at Musselburgh while Apricot Sky had a few of these behind when scoring at Haydock earlier this month and makes most appeal of Dandy Nicholls' runners. Gowanharry bids for a hat-trick after beating Jack Luey and One Boy at Thirsk while Fredricka is not out of this but it could be COMPTON HEIGHTS' turn again today as he just missed out on a treble when runner-up at Musselburgh last time.
