Race preview
In Rem has looked on a steep upward curve in rattling off a hat-trick since joining Jane Williams but the combination of a whopping 13lb rise for his latest success and completely different ground reduces his appeal at forecast cramped odds. Fellow recent winner MIDNIGHT MARY could prove a safer option in the conditions after a winning reappearance over 3m at Doncaster earlier in the month, where she scored despite not getting the strong end-to-end gallop she relishes. Given that she should strip fitter here, a 4lb rise doesn't look insurmountable, though Bean In Trouble also brings recent winning form to the table and Sandy Brook looks feasibly treated for his handicap bow.
