HYDRANT finished a creditable third in better company at York last time when attempting today's distance for the first time. He'll have no trouble with today's tight track judged on earlier placed efforts at Wolverhampton and gets the vote. Tenhoo will be winning off his current mark soon and Party Line's best form gives her a chance but Gabrial's King went close at this track in May and could prove a bigger threat. Avison may also figure if further rain arrives but Tartan Gunna looks no nearer winning despite his slide down the weights.
