      Verdict

      Noble Friend has won twice at Plumpton this year and was only beaten a length-and-a-half at Newton Abbot when chasing a hat-trick, though is now on a career-high mark. Marie Des Anges is 6lb higher than when successful over course and distance last month but wasn't beaten far at Worcester last time and has every chance again. Here I Am, third here last time, remains unexposed and makes more appeal than the inconsistent Boss In Boots but ANDI'AMU may be the one to be on. He made mistakes on his chasing bow at Stratford but that will have taught him plenty and the five-year-old is well treated on his hurdles form.
