Verdict
Mubrook had Coverholder behind when an improved third at Haydock three weeks ago and shouldn't be far away here. Trucking Along has a chance on his best form while Shanroe Society was only beaten a neck on his latest start at Navan. Rhymers Ha' has plenty of weight but is another for the short-list and there's a chance that we haven't yet seen the best of Little Fritz. CRYSTAL SWING can be a bit hit-and-miss but likes soft ground and Zoe Davidson takes off a useful 5lb. He might just respond to her urgings to land this.
