This looks quite competitive with Just Hiss running out an easy winner last time at Beverley. He's 7lb higher but Rachel Richardson claims 3lb, though his done all of his best work so far when there has been give in the ground. It was good to soft when MUJAAMIL finally came good at Ripon last time but he'd handled a quicker surface earlier at Nottingham and might be the one to beat if the blinkers work a second time. Planetaria is holding his form well and Hibou looked to be running into form here last time. La Contessa should be winning soon and Carlisle winner Crazy Tornado also adds to the interest.
