Race preview
HIBERNATE arrives on the back of his best effort to date when finishing a close-up second at Nottingham. A 1lb nudge from the assessor could prove to be lenient for Ed Dunlop's gelding and he looks ready to open his account. Makes Me Wonder also filled the runner-up spot on his latest outing over 1m at Windsor, although he may need to settle better in order to see out today's extra quarter-mile distance. With that in mind, a bigger danger may emerge from fellow in-form rival Electric Bass.
