Dove Mountain got the better of Opt Out over track and trip last week but carries a penalty and the latter may well turn the tables in this. Mr Sundowner beat LIKE A PRAYER over course and distance on the same card last week but Garvan Donnelly's charge is much better off today and can take his revenge. Tsarglas has own three times on the all-weather and is having only his third start on this surface after scoring at Wolverhampton while the likes of John Coffey, Poolstock and Call Me Crockett all have a shout off their current marks.
