Formscan  - Diamond Mix arrives in search of a hat-trick and must be respected, but both of those Hexham wins came last year so it is the race-fit COUNT ADHEMAR who shades preference. Donald McCain's gelding built on an underwhelming fencing bow to finish a narrow second at Ludlow last month and any further progress might be enough. Forcetoreckonwith completes the shortlist.
