Daniel Tudhope has ridden the last two winners of this but has his work cut out on Toto Skyllachy, who has won on today's card before but was tailed off at Haydock last time. Next Stop scored over track and trip recently but was only a short-head in front of Bling King and the latter re-opposes on better terms. Where's Tiger ran well at Wetherby last week but remains 10lb higher than his course and distance win in August and a chance is taken on MAYBEME. The latter scored over track and trip at this time last year before winning off today's mark at Ripon in June and could go close on her return.
