Andrew Balding has a strong recent record in this so it's worth giving another chance to WILD WAVES, who met trouble when one of the market leaders for a valuable handicap over this trip at Haydock last month. The William Haggas-trained Dramatic Star is another who can have a line put through his run in that same Haydock handicap and is second choice ahead of Reaching High and Tabletalk.
