VOCALISER (NAP) showed a willing attitude to get back to winning ways here just over a month ago and a 4lb rise is almost wiped out by Fergus Gregory’s claim. It’s hard to see Grand Coureur reversing that form at the revised terms but the latter has place claims again. The remainder all need to improve on recent form to play a part but Between The Waters isn’t badly treated at present and Chatelier has been lightly raced.
