The front-running Triple Dip is not without a chance having finished runner-up on her last three outings. But it could be the same old story for her with AUSTIN FRIARS preferred. The latter made a bold bid to follow-up a win at Lingfield but was hampered by the winner when second at Wolverhampton last month. He can make amends in this with a clear run and an apprentice's 7lb claim helping his cause. Master Zephyr is up 5lb for winning on the all-weather in October and makes more appeal than the remaining pair as he steps up in distance for his reappearance.
