Successful off this mark in a 7f nursery at Carlisle last year, RALPHY BOY TWO has shown himself to be suited by further this year and a further step up in distance may well suit. Another quarter-mile could also help Splinter while Bound For Heaven has run a couple of nice races over a mile this summer. Gift Of Kings is another to consider and Alpine Mistral arrives on a hat-trick but has been raised 10lb and steps up a grade. Tombolo is unexposed and looks the pick of the remainder.
