THE CRAFTY MOLE (9) takes on tougher competition bringing an excellent recent record. Four wins and a placing last five outings. Justified favouritism scoring by a neck at Thirsk over 1m6f. Tackles additional stamina test. SURREY BELLE (3) seeks a double following an impressive 7L success attempting a similar journey at Kempton Park AW. Can replicate on turf. WARMONGER (10) has been making steady progress since a break. Scored by 2.25L at Lingfield when last seen. Not to be dismissed. ROAD TO WEMBLEY (8) returned after a three month lay-off with a fourth at Chelmsford AW. Could go close.
