Takingitallin was beaten almost four lengths by Demon D'Aunou here last month but is now 8lb better off and the latter has since run poorly at Stratford. Romanor won at Stratford last month but was then beaten out of sight at Southwell. Juge Et Parti is usually worth opposing so we’ll take a chance on RIVER ICON, a course winner here over hurdles. She was given far too much to do on her return to chasing and this is more her trip.
