Take away Fathsta's latest poor effort and he has every chance given he won a similar contest at Epsom last month. Eeny Mac recorded a hat-trick at this course before a below par run in much better company here and he's not without a chance as he beat Violent Velocity over C&D for one of his wins. Muftarres arrives on the back of a double including a victory over track and trip when Brocklebank was runner-up and SUNNYSIDE TOM finished third. The latter is chasing a hat-trick of victories in this contest and it looks a strong possibility as he re-opposes on better terms with the aforementioned pair.
