Supreme Team is steadily running into form and could figure judged on his latest second to Royal Chatelier at Hereford, while Home She Goes advertised her claims when finishing a decent third at Market Rasen recently.

Nigel Twiston-Davies' mare looks capable of making amends here. Reefer Beefer was pulled up on his latest start but has place claims dropping down in class today.
