Verdict
Hurakan landed a hat-trick of claimers last season and Oriental Girl won twice off lower marks at Bath. Both finished well behind today's rival and runner-up YES CHEF over C&D last time and the latter gets the speculative vote to go one better. Bold Cross ended a long losing run over a mile at Bath on his penultimate start but has yet to score over today's longer trip, while Ashkalara has claims if back to her best with a recent run under her belt.
