Hang In There tops our ratings alongside Queensbury Boy and earns the marginal pick on course and distance suitability, with a first-time visor offering an aid to focus after a mixed recent sequence. Queensbury Boy arrives with strong form credentials but his jumping over fences has been problematic — a genuine concern at 3m. Riskintheground is in career-best trim following a narrow success last time, though the revised mark may test him; Twig was below his best most recently but handles today's conditions and could bounce back. Hang In There is our selection.
This looks the most competitive and open race on the card. Regarde appeals as a solid each-way contender. He tends to be held up towards the rear in the early stages of his races, but he stays strongly and this 3m trip looks ideal for him if things fall right.
The main danger may come from Riskintheground from the Dan Skelton yard.
