HITCHED (1) brings plenty of good form with two placings and four wins from his last six starts including last time when successful by 0.5L attempting 1m2f. Steps back in trip and won here in previous contests. Leading contender. RADIANT BEAUTY (2) delivered a 1.25L victory tackling track and trip 12 days back. Will be competitive. Wide draw to overcome. Main danger. PARTISAN HERO (8) recorded two runner-up finishes including a 0.5L second at Southwell. Secures useful claimer and races off an attractive mark. Not to be dismissed. IMPERIAL FIGHTER (6) may place after triumphing by a head here.
