Call Out Loud was a comfortable winner at Doncaster nine days ago and has travelled a long way for this. With Serena Brotherton in the saddle, Mike Appleby's raider will probably be a short-priced favourite despite a 6lb higher mark. But he could find VICTOR'S BET a tough nut to crack as Ella Smith has ridden Ralph Smith runners to success in each of the last two renewals and his entry shaped with promise at Kempton on his reappearance having won amateur races over longer trips at Newbury and Goodwood last year. Choral Clan won at Chelmsford last month and One Big Surprise and For Ayman could also play a part.
