Sound Advice looks a reformed character this season and followed-up his third behind The Osteopath with a four length victory at Newcastle last time. He's the one to beat if allowed his own way up front once again. There's little between Shadowtime and Bling King on recent running at Beverley while Staff Sergeant and Coral Sands are both upped 6lb and taking on better company after winning their latest starts at Musselburgh and Hamilton respectively. Le Chat D'Or is another with claims but the speculative vote goes to DOS AMIGOS, as he ran below par when sent off favourite for his comeback at Redcar and much better is expected from Michael Dods' charge in this.
