Trending beat today's rival Monty Fay narrowly at Chepstow but neither has exactly enhanced the form though the former found 6f beyond him last time. OCEAN MYTH goes best on good or fast ground which he should get here. He was in the lead at today's trip when runner-up to Dark Ages at Salisbury and looks well enough treated to gain his second victory. West Leake Hare is having his first run at the minimum trip but once again showed good speed when a close third to Khubala at Doncaster and looks the main danger. Funcheon Vale makes her handicap debut and she's shown enough potential to be considered for a place at least.
