Mauritino has been in fine form on the Flat and over hurdles and there seems no reason why he won't run his race again here, despite a short break. ONE HIT WONDER is also at the top of his game, however, and is fancied to complete his hat-trick. Jonny Portman's gelding has gone up a further 3lb since winning over C&D last month but is the type to just do enough and may still be a step ahead of the handicapper. Choral Festival is a frequent visitor here and rarely runs a bad race. But she's been campaigned mainly over 1m4f lately and may just struggle for pace back over this shorter trip.
