Hard to make a strong case for any of these. TAWSEEF never threatened when placed on his last couple of starts but it was soft ground when he won over C&D before that and today's going could make the difference. Uncle Roger was fourth behind Lady Romanza, who runs in the previous race, at Warwick last time and Poetry Dancer has slipped further down the weights after a recent third at Bath. Yarmouth winner Final Delivery is another on a fair mark if back to his best.
