ORDENSRITTER was not beaten far off a slightly lower mark in a similar race over track and trip three weeks ago and looks the most likely winner of this under the experienced Giles Hawkins. Veteran Tisfreetdream usually needs a couple of runs but Thehill Ofthe Rock could go well eased slightly in class and makes more appeal than out of form chaser Roc De Guye. The others all seem to have some improving to do.
