Mark Johnston has sent out two of the last four winners and has decent claims once again with KILTARA (NAP). The Chelmsford winner drops in class and steps up in distance after a fourth at Goodwood. Lady Lekki made a winning start over a mile at Wetherby should stay the trip while Mezajy also puts his stamina to the test after finishing second at Yarmouth over 1m2f. Zamani has more scope than both recent Musselburgh winner No Backchat and last month's course and distance runner-up Deep Blue Diamond.
