Another For Joe beat Al Muheer easily enough over track and trip last time but GEORGE ROOKE wasn't far behind in third. The latter was left with a lot of ground to make up and, if ridden closer to the pace today, Keith Dalgleish's charge may well turn the tables on better terms. Party Royal never threatened when fourth here last time but finished ahead of Talent Scout and Toto Skyllachy. But Kingscroft makes more appeal dropped in class and the less-exposed Champagne Rules could also go well.
