William Haggas has an impressive strike-rate at the track and a chance is taken REEMANNIE handles the underfoot conditions. She wasn’t beaten far when fourth at Windsor recently and the runner-up has boosted the form by winning. War Defender is also untried on soft going having gone close in handicaps the last twice and Al Khabeer is another to consider on his earlier fourth over track and trip when behind a couple of subsequent winners. The remainder look up against it and the newcomer Clan Jock is hard to fancy on breeding.
