STREET ENTERTAINER went close on his chasing bow at Worcester last time but had won over hurdles at the same track before that and should make another bold bid. But plenty of others have claims including Tempo Mac, who won for the second time in three outings when scoring by a neck at Bellewstown a fortnight ago. Politeness is up 7lb as he bids for a hat-trick on the back of a recent win at Perth and Cool Baranca has been raised 11lb for last month's win at Aintree. Vivacissimo won a lower grade contest at Stratford recently and could go well again.
