Mick Channon has won this a couple of times in recent years so the impressive Bath winner Riverboat Springs has to be on the short-list while Mark Johnston has also been successful twice and Ifwecan is highly rated at Middleham, showing real battling qualities to justify favouritism and make all at Ascot. Haikbidiac's close third to Steventon Star at York looks a good run and though there are other threats THUNDER STRIKE looks the one to be on after very convincing victories at Doncaster and Windsor.
