David Pipe runs three in this with Bygones Sovereign bidding to follow up his victory over course and distance three weeks ago. Tom Scudamore partners KATKEAU and the seven-year-old, who won at Cheltenham on his reappearance, can get back to winning ways after finding the company a little too hot in a Grade 3 at Haydock on his latest start. Brownville is relatively unexposed and Who Owns Me will benefit from Harry Bannister's claim while Rendl Beach, Hansuopfordetroit and American Life all have each-way possibilities. But Rev It Up looks a little high in the weights now and Awaywiththegreys has been a little below par so far this season.
