The ultra-consistent Three Days Reign should be capable of landing another prize with Paddy The Optimist and Luneray looking the most feasible alternatives. While fans of Three Days Reign may have been disappointed with her recent second placing at Sandown - in retrospect that run was probably an improvement from a formbook perspective and another bold bid should be expected here. Paddy The Optimist has an obvious chance at the bottom of the handicap. Third to Just Jolly on his most recent start - any rainfall will significantly assist his claims. Luneray has to be respected from the Paul Nicholls camp. Her form of last season would be good enough at this level but there has been little encouragement this term. Blackchurch Mist knows how to win around here but her best form is unquestionably when she hears her hooves rattling. Beau Supreme is likely to front run but faces a tough task off these terms. Three Days Reign looks to have been found an obvious opportunity to score and we will not look to oppose.
