Two hat-trick hunters have the best claims on this handicap and given his liking for these conditions BLUE NOODLES is the preference choice of the pair ahead of Seasonal Cross while on the pick of his form Phluke looks weighted for a big run. The first of the pair of wins that have set up this hat-trick chance for the pick came in a seller on similar ground and he proved he is effective in this company with his second victory when five pounds better off. That was comfortable enough and his expertise in softer going conditions could be key. Seasonal Cross is after a hat-trick of handicaps but the dual concerns are that she only just got home last time and unproven on the ground. Phluke is dangerously low in the weights based on his best efforts and after hinting of a return to something like his old self last time means he has to be respected. You've Been Mowed tasted success on her last start but with her yet to win off a mark this high we turn to Blue Noodles.
