A couple of veterans posted better efforts last time with Archive finishing runner-up over track and trip and Flower Power finding one too good at Catterick. But LALIPOUR was having only his second start for Adrian Nicholls’ yard when a close-up fourth at Hamilton behind the progressive Out Of Breath and he gets the vote on that form. Siyahamba has failed to figure since winning this in 2019 but Major Snugfit landed a similar contest here last August.
