Calipso Collonges sports headgear on his first run for Olly Murphy and could be interesting. Samson's Reach beat Tanacando more than three lengths at Warwick last time but the runner-up is 5lb better off so has every chance of turning the tables. LERICHI BELLE deserves a win and her turn may have come around. She showed she handled heavy going at Chepstow last time and her proven stamina will also be an asset here. Ring Minella appeared to show some improvement at Hereford last month but that was a weak contest.
