Bute Street scored over 1m6f at Wolverhampton last week having finished behind Six Of Clubs at Lingfield before that. The latter has done all his winning on the all-weather, however, and so has Rosewood Lad which is why Stan Moore's charge can race off a 9lb lower mark back on this surface. With doubts surrounding the aforementioned, a chance is taken on MINISTEROFTHEINTERIOR as he went close over a shorter trip at Musselburgh last time and the five-time hurdle winner should have no problem with today's extra distance. The majority of the remainder are struggling for form with useful hurdler Salontyre making most appeal of those.
