Verdict
Paul Nicholls saddles Pacha Du Polder, a winner at Newbury in March, and Worcester second Woolcombe Folly and both make more appeal than Mahogany Blaze. Buck Mulligan also looks poised for a big run while Gentleman Anshan was third in a decent race at Market Rasen after winning at Stratford. PEPITE ROSE will enjoy the recent rain and was only beaten a short-head off a pound higher mark at Haydock when last racing on similar ground. She can reverse recent form with Gentleman Anshan and take this.
