Inside Story can land his hat-trick at the expense of Mythical Charm and Border Edge. The selection has won back to back races at Wolverhampton and Haydock and now comes here running off an eight pound higher mark. He has run well off a similar rating in the past and may be good enough to defy the handicapper one more time. Mythical Charm has won two form her last three outings. She was in winning form at Salisbury last time out and is only running off a three pound higher mark here so is one for the short list. Border Edge will find life tougher with a six pound penalty for his Lingfiled win but has to be monitored in the betting market. But for the winner we return to Inside Story.
