HOLDBACKTHERIVER got rid of his companion very early on debut here but has since shown a good deal of promise at Chepstow on similarly tacky ground as he'll likely meet here. Give that he's handled conditions and shown that form, he makes appeal as the likeliest winner. The Pipe pair of I'm Always Trying and Ilovemints both have possibilities, with Tom Scudamore plumping for the former, while Fairmount should run well but may need a longer trip to be at his best.
