Too much to do after blowing the start when beaten a length off a 2lb higher mark at Kempton last time. Suited by 6f, now below his last winning mark and could build on that effort.

Verdict
SAM'S HOPE had little difficulty in completing a double at Southwell and she should take all the beating on this quick turnaround. The six-year-old is 5lb well-in and has plenty going for her as a dual C&D winner. The biggest threat may emerge in the shape of Ziggy's Queen, who arrives on the back of a decent second at Chelmsford. Em Four and Lovat Scout cannot be dismissed in their current heart either.
Expert View Verdict
SAM'S HOPE can continue her winning run here. She's only 4lb higher than when a cosy winner last time and she was doing her best work at the finish suggesting that this step back up in trip would be of benefit. C&D winner Papa Cocktail has generally been in good form of late and would've been closer last time with a clear run. He can fill the places with in form Em Four who is just 1lb higher than when winning at the start of the year.
