The Big Short won at Leicester in June and has gone close the last twice. Unfortunately, he’s still creeping up the weights and may find one too good again. Holly Doyle takes a handy 3lb off EVERKYLLACHY, who has improved markedly since dropping back to this sort of trip. She won at Chepstow last month and was just touched off in a three-way driving finish here last time off today’s mark. Zipedeedodah looked in the handicapper’s grip at Sandown last week but Bella Alissa may be capable of better and is preferred to Sandfrankskipsgo and likely trail-blazer Pearl Noir.
