Three of these won last time and Market Rasen scorer Big Picture may prove the best of those ahead of Our Morris and The Lion Man. The latter had SIMPLY LUCKY back in fourth at Southwell but nothing went right that day for Dan Skelton’s charge, who had made a winning start for the yard at Towcester earlier and deserves a chance to make amends. Petite Ganache is interesting after an improved third at Ayr and Coisa Blanco filled the same position behind Sauvignon on his handicap debut.
