Dibble Decker is upped in class bidding for a treble and BOBHOPEORNOHOPE is preferred. The latter faced a tougher task in Grade 3 company at Kempton last time when finishing well ahead of Annsam but had won over course and distance before that and gets another chance back at this level. Le Cameleon scored on faster ground here last month while both The Wolf and Good Boy Bobby were well beaten in the same race at last month’s Cheltenham Festival. Captain Tommy has his second start after wind surgery representing last year’s winning yard.
