Seven of the last 10 winners have come from stall four or lower, although with two from 16 it can also be done from wider if things drop right. Some seasoned pros turn up again here as well as several whose best days are ahead of them, one of which looks likely to be Chelsea Lad, who could go well if he is over what ailed him at Nottingham. Can't Change It should have conditions to his liking and is another well drawn, while connections of Murad Khan take up the challenge from a 7lb higher mark than his last win and may be rewarded. Donncha, Victory Bond and Keystroke are others of interest in an open heat, but preference is for THIKRIYAAT. Admittedly he does have a poor draw, but otherwise there is a lot to like about his chance and he may have too much class for the opposition.
