Most of these arrive in top form including Mark Johnston's hat-trick seeking Cape Coast, who carries a penalty for Monday's impressive victory at Ripon. Melting Dew's two victories have been on Polytrack but his most recent run when stepped up to this trip at Newbury was his best so far. He had earlier beaten Alfarris a short-head at Chelmsford and the latter's 3lb pull should be enough to reverse the form. Society Red steps up in trip after a fine effort at York while Bin Battuta made a successful reappearance at Doncaster and ran quite well at the Royal meeting. SPECIAL RELATION needs to find quite a bit more after landing a Class 4 handicap at Pontefract from 5lb lower but he took a big step-up in trip that day and looked ideally suited so he's taken to land this for Hughie Morrison.
