Never Up was wayward in his jumping when chasing a hat-trick at Market Rasen but is still preferred to stablemate Karisma King, only fourth when favourite at Market Rasen having won at the same track earlier - the latter also prefers much easier going. AMUSE ME has his ground, Brian Hughes back in the saddle and is a dual course and distance winner so has to be of interest and he gets the vote ahead of the less-exposed So Satisfied. Attimo would need a first-time visor to re-ignite his enthusiasm.
