Ten-year-old three-time course and distance winner GULLIVER (9) knows his way around here. He returned to winning ways over 6f at Thirsk last time and is preferred with Mark Winn negating 3lb of his rise in the weights. Ascot (6f) runner-up HOLKHAM BAY (6) could go well off a 2lb higher mark. MATTICE (7) cannot be left out of the equation after battling on strongly to score by 0.75L over 5f at Ripon earlier in the month. With a Windsor win TIRIAC (8) would have to be taken seriously were rain to arrive. CHAMPAGNE SARAH (2) needs to be included for the exotics.
