Deputy will appreciate any cut in the ground after finishing second at Doncaster while Judgment Call faced a tougher task at York last month having won over track and trip earlier. Phoenix Fire drops back down in distance with a chance while Bay Of Hope is upped in class having scored at Redcar recently. But course regular CLASSY AL (NAP) won on this card last year and looks set for a return to winning ways having missed out by only a neck here last time and Jim Goldie’s charge gets the nod.
