The General Lee's tendency to jump left didn't cost him here four weeks ago and he'll be fancied to extend his winning run. But RUMBURY GREY brings the better overall form into the race and may be better suited by the soft ground. It was good going when he got outpaced by Dante's Storm at Doncaster last month. Surenaga was a disappointing favourite between the flags last month but Findlay's Find won at Barbury last month and Rathcor can improve a little on his fourth at Catterick. Extra Bold is preferred to No Reception of the others.
