HEADS OR HARPS disappointed on his comeback run at Kelso but he looked a useful prospect when winning over this C&D in March so is worth another chance. Rock On Jet showed promise over C&D on chase bow and is feared most ahead of the veteran Arthur's Quay.
Not many of these can be ruled out with any great confidence. Two of BOURBALI's four hurdles wins have been gained over this C&D and he is interesting returned to this sphere on a workable mark. Jackstell is on a roll and he should be on the premises, while Believitanducan remains unexposed as a hurdler and also enters calculations, along with Twist of Fatecatch.
HOLLOWAY BOY rates the pick of these weights having posted an excellent runner-up in a big-field Ascot handicap off an official mark of 110 so gets the nod. The improving Chancellor rates a big danger though while Ebt's Guard and Tyrrhenian Sea can both have a say too in this competitive event.
The one who appeals most is RIBBLE VIBE, who ended up making his challenge too late under an inexperienced rider at Southwell recently and he will benefit from stronger handling here. Aajej left his handicap debut effort well behind when going close upped to 1¾m here last month, leaving the stong impression that this trip would be right up his street. He is likely to emerge as the main danger, though Senor Cortez is also seriously considered.
