Volkovka

She did it really well in the soft at Exeter last time. The expected better ground here will not be a problem and I think a mark of 119 gives her excellent chances.

Karl Philippe

This horse has done brilliantly this season, and he could well have been coming here unbeaten with a touch more luck, being narrowly denied twice at Exeter. But he continued his progression with a wide-margin win at that track last time and I think a mark of 130 gives him a very fair shot at this competitive handicap. This has been the plan.

Billiams Legacy

This is obviously another big field and a very open race but she won nicely at Wetherby, and her second at Doncaster in January gives her each way chances in a race we won with Cap Soleil in 2017.
