Overhaugh Street made all at Chester but has never won off a mark this high. Final Rock hails from a yard in cracking form but the four-year-old has yet to join the party and is now blinkered. Ravenous won off a higher mark under Poppy Bridgwater last year and C'Est No Mour is consistent but a three-year-old won this last year so it may pay to concentrate on the classic generation again. Mark Johnston has the likely favourite in the hat-trick seeking Mister Chiang but stable companion FRASER ISLAND also makes plenty of appeal. Only a pound higher than when successful at Beverley in the spring, a return to winning ways may be on the cards. Agent Basterfield may still be a few pounds too high but Htilominlo and Fields Of Fortune are not out of this.
