Verdict
It should pay to stick with SOFIAS NUMBER ONE in this. He managed to complete a hat-trick last time despite being dropped back to 7f here under a penalty - the previous course and distance winner can go in again. Bold Marc looks a threat off his current rating and Mataajir can figure back on the Fibresand after a dire effort at Nottingham last week. Mcconnell continues to find at least one too good despite slipping down the weights but On The Cusp showed a bit more last time and the multiple course and distance winner looks on the way back to form.
