A fiendishly competitive handicap in which it could pay to side with Paul Midgley's SPRING IS SPRUNG. He's been given a break since landing back-to-back wins in this series earlier in the summer and a 3 lb rise for the latest of them shouldn't prevent a bold bid to bag the £100,000 bonus. Duran promises to be suited by the way this race is likely to be run and he's feared. Mick & David Easterby trained-duo Acrisius and Knicks are others making appeal, along with Curious Rover.
