Richard Hannon holds a remarkable record in this contest winning five of the last seven renewals. He saddles four here with PERSICA (15) the main selection. The son of New Bay left his debut form well behind securing a 3.5L success at Salisbury. Looks capable of continuing his trainer's fine record in this race. Impressive Pontefract debut winner ZIGGY'S CONDOR (19) makes for obvious appeal representing connections who won this last year. VANTHEMAN (18) looked a nice prospect winning over 6f at Ayr and cannot be dismissed. Others to note include the unbeaten DRAGON LEADER (9) who secures Ryan Moore and Newbury Super Sprint fourth DAPPERLING (20).
