Verdict
George Baker bids for a hat-trick of wins in this and HIPZ gets the vote. The latter has every chance on today's terms and should have improved for a reappearance third at Leicester. Ocean Legend scored at Brighton last time but has to concede plenty of weight to the selection and Shrewd Bob looks a bigger threat on his earlier placed efforts at Kempton. The remainder have a stack to find with the principals and are hard to fancy as a consequence.
