Both Wor Willie and Captain Kane bid for hat-tricks though the former has been winning tougher races and is preferred. Molinari missed out on a treble when narrowly beaten at Carlisle while Eklil has a chance after placing at Windsor. Franz is unexposed and has been gelded since third at Hamilton in June while Flamborough returns to action and makes his handicap debut along with CHILLINGHAM. The latter placed under a penalty last time having won at Pontefract earlier and has the scope to go close in an open contest.
