Verdict
Richard Fahey won this a year ago and his Ejteyaaz will be fancied to complete the double but he's twice finished behind Tres Coronas and there appears no reason for a form reversal. OCEAN TRANSIT ended the last campaign with a couple of minor handicap victories and has been in action over timber. She completed a double in February but saved her best for Cheltenham where she finished third behind Quevega in the Mares' Hurdle. She still on a low enough mark to take this under her promising claimer. Loyalty is definitely on the upgrade though an 8lb rise for her victory at Wolverhampton looks a little harsh. John Quinn's horses are flying so Veiled Applause should be noted despite falling on his return to action at Stratford last month.
