Race preview
A gutsy winner at Newmarket last month, Olympicus has scope to improve over this trip and his willing attitude is an asset as he bids to defy a 3lb higher mark. However, previous C&D winner WARREN HILL can put her course knowledge to good use and appeals more on the forecast going. Cut in the ground should suit this daughter of No Nay Never and she can flourish back over this distance after her stamina hit the buffers over an extended 1m3f last time. Hakuna Babe and Gordon Grey are others to note.
