The Purchaser made all to beat Thorseby and Combustible Kate over a shorter trip here six weeks ago but Chris Bealby's charge may struggle to confirm that running with the top weight on 4lb worse terms. ROYALRACKET (NAP) could beat all three, however, as he was closing down the idling Herecomesthetruth over 2m4f at Huntingdon last time and has been left on the same mark. He beat The Purchaser by 10 lengths at Southwell in April and can confirm that form, despite re-opposing on 8lb worse terms. Lock Towers had a tough start over regulation fences at Worcester and has won a point-to-point.
