Verdict
A couple of these bid for a hat-trick of course wins though Walk In The Wild had a favourites chance at Plumpton yesterday and RAMORE WILL is preferred. The latter had the measure of Echo Watt over a longer trip last time but was successful over course and distance before that and can defy a 6lb rise. Melk Abbey, Celma Des Bois and Reign Suepreme all failed to complete behind the selection and Galtee Mountain is preferred refitted with cheekpieces having landed a treble in the headgear early this year.
