Goninodaethat was well beaten in soft going here a week ago having scored over track and trip before that and Exotic Guest makes more appeal upped 4lb for his recent success over course and distance. Barney McGrew's earlier win at Thirsk came in a seller and Irish raider Ask Dad is 6lb higher than last month's win at Naas. Sea Of Green may do better now handicapping and the same comment applies to POMME DE TERRE, who finished behind stablemate Collosium when third at Newcastle on his reappearance but separated a couple of subsequent winners.
