LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): M Hammond (15 wins from 133 runners, 11%) runs HOWZAT HIRIS TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Hammond (3 wins from 21 runners, 14%) runs HOWZAT HIRIS LONGEST TRAVELLER: SHESUPINCOURT trained by R Potter, Sellack, 278 miles.

LONE STAR has been much improved of late, making it 2 wins from her last 3 starts with another commanding victory at Ayr on Tuesday and, unpenalized for that success, she earns the vote. That said, fellow last-time-out winner Aazza was impressive herself when scoring over this sort of trip at Doncaster in January and is a big threat, ahead of On We Go
