Boy The Bell won over 7f here just over a year ago and has to go on the short-list in a modest heat, despite a high draw. Distant Sun will be challenging for a place again but Avoncreek has rather lost his way and Loukoumi doesn't appear to have done much to justify his big weight. Isle Of Ellis has been knocking on the door, however, but Ron Barr also runs FOREIGN RHYTHM who is well treated on the pick of last year's form and hasn't run badly on a few occasion this term. The latter gets the nod.
