Ethics Girl beat Phoenix Flight and High On A Hill at Wolverhampton last month but the latter had won at this track before that when he had Morar behind. Dalhaan won over C&D last time but steps up in class here and so does the recent Lingfield runner-up Pittodrie Star. Porgy has claims trying this trip for the first time but in a competitive event the vote goes to BENHEGO. Four times a winner on the Flat and twice over hurdles, Gary Moore's charge returned from a lengthy lay-off to finish a credible fourth over 1m4f last month. He can return to winning ways over this more suitable trip.
