A couple stand out on recent form. Birkie Queen finished third dropped down to this level at Bath last time but TOTAL DISTRACTION is less exposed. Karl Burke’s charge also placed in classified company here last time and there’s enough stamina in his pedigree to suggest this longer trip will suit. Four Feet looks less likely to last home judged on an earlier effort over today’s distance while Hi There Silver won one of these events last year but most of the rest arrive in woeful form.
