Polytrack winner FONTERUTOLI went close to taking advantage of a lower mark on Turf when third over track and trip last week. He finished a length ahead of Hill Of Dreams and can confirm superiority in the process of landing this. Whinging Willie made the frame over a longer trip at last week's meeting here when Menadati was well beaten while Ermyntrude is a course and distance winner and is only 2lb higher than when scoring at Kempton in January. Bloodsweatandtears is another to consider back at this track.
