There are several promising types in this so Sedgefield winner It's Maisy probably faces a stiff task under her penalty. Fergal O’Brien sent out last year’s winner and saddles two this year. Fortune Forever went close in a couple of bumpers and Paddy Brennan rides but Liam Harrison’s mount POLITACUS was fourth in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree in April won by another stablemate, Dysart Dynamo, and won earlier at Ascot when Birdhouse and Whispering Gold were behind. Clararose has had wind surgery since last seen but the danger may be April’s Southwell winner Little Miss Dante.
