Verdict
Fast ground has seen AN TAILLIUR hit top form and he bids to land a quick hat-trick. A recent winner at both Market Rasen and Worcester, he looks worth sticking with given the favourable conditions underfoot. Getthepot opened his account when scoring at Ayr but is 10lb higher today while Thomas Kershaw’s recent victory at Uttoxeter came in maiden company. Bay Of Intrigue looks no nearer winning having run poorly at Ffos Las a couple of days ago.
