All For The Best won a maiden over 1m5f here but disappointed back in a handicap at Chester and blinkers replace the more usual cheekpieces. The 7f winner Dylan's Storm seemed to cope with the step up to 1m2f when fourth at Brighton last time and takes a further step up in distance along with SAUMUR (NAP). A runner-up over 10f here three weeks ago, there is bags of stamina on her dam's side and Denis Coakley's filly gets the nod. Mistamel has slipped down the weights and finished a bit closer over 1m4f at Chesptow a week ago.
