LEADING COURSE TRAINER (17-22): T Carroll (75 wins from 734 runners, 10%) runs DE VEGAS KID & POETIC FORCE

TRAINER-IN-FORM (LAST 14 DAYS): M Appleby (8 wins from 50 runners, 16%) runs MOTAWAAFEQ

LONGEST TRAVELLER: RHUBARB BIKINI trained by M Attwater, Epsom, 138 miles.

MOTAWAAFEQ will probably face competition for the lead with Rhubarb Bikini in opposition but that may not stop him from getting his head back in front.The 7-y-o returned to form when third at Southwell earlier this month and remains on a handy mark. Arthur’s Victory will likely prove popular following last week’s success but she has more on her plate under a penalty here, and bigger threats may be posed by theTony Carroll-trained duo, Poetic Force and De Vegas Kid.
