Top Cop has been in good form lately but is going to find it tough to overcome an outside draw in this big field. Brighton winner Dreams Of Glory is better drawn but now on a career-high mark at the age of six. Wooden King is a dual course and distance winner but usually needs a run or two to put him straight while stablemate Ginzan hasn't really fired so far this year. Temple Road finished ahead of Diamondhead at Lingfield last time but there wasn't much between Edged Out and ALCANDO here last month and the latter can come out on top today from a better draw. It's a while since he ran in this lowly grade and he's very well treated on his best form. Bilash last ran in January but could also figure if fully wound-up.
