Race preview
BOB OLINGER opened his season on a bright note in this race last year and can make a winning start again. The classy Sholokhov gelding was a cosy winner 12 months ago and ended his campaign with an agonisingly narrow defeat by Impaire Et Passe in top level company at Aintree. He sets the standard here off his mark of 160. Home By The Lee hasn't much to find on the book getting a 5lb pull. He won this race a couple of years ago before finishing third to the selection 12 months ago. The mare Jetara comes here with a fitness advantage and gets 12lb from the selection. She could also play a big part.
