Bocciani won over fences back in May and has claims though he's yet to score on the Flat, while Oddsmaker produced a better effort under today's amateur last time and can figure. DAYTIME DREAMER won one of these events over a shorter trip here on his latest start and Martin Todhunter's charge is preferred to Circus Clown, who won at Ayr on his recent return from a lay-off and is 5lb higher today. Heart Of Dubai makes most appeal of the remainder.
