Super Focus completed a double before beaten on her hat-trick attempt and she's up another 4lb. Paved with Gold stayed on strongly to score over a mile last month and was again going on at the finish when runner-up next time so the longer trip should suit. Shake The Bucket has won a dozen times on the Flat and over jumps but this looks on the short side nowadays, as it does for Solar Heat, though the latter was in the lead at this trip when scoring over 1m4f a fortnight ago. Keukenhof has only won over a mile but she was staying on over this trip last time but it's SEREFELI who gets the nod despite the fact he hasn't won since his racecourse debut in April of last year. He's gradually been coming down the weights and is ready to win again soon judging by his run behind Heavy Weight last time. The lightly-raced Aurellia is one to note in the market on her handicap debut.
