Race preview
BASFORD stayed on strongly to land the spoils at Carlisle last time and with similar underfoot conditions forecast here, Jennie Candlish's charge could defy a penalty to score. Fringill Dike is the other previous winner in the race but Jedd O'Keeffe's runner encounters softer conditions here, while Sporting Ace came out worst in a blanket finish between five horses at Newbury on debut but could have plenty to offer with that run under his belt. Dan Skelton's Grey Dawning and the Sue Smith-trained Copper Beach look the pick of the newcomers.
