TECTONIC won this a year ago and has scored again on the track so is well enough treated to stage a repeat. Royal Holiday is in very good form but prefers a bit of cut in the ground. The three-year-old Chances Are scored here last month and should make a bold bid to defy a 6lb rise while Know Your Name has now dropped to a winnable mark. Venutius has been in good form in Class 6 company while Guaracha scored in this class at Pontefract and is just 2lb higher.
