Stoney Lane won a lower grade contest at Beverley last time while Safran gets a change of headgear having placed in a claimer at the same track. Hilary's Boy went close again at Leicester and Final Frontier is another with a shout after a better effort over track and trip but TACITUS is preferred. The latter has tumbled down the weights and may finally take advantage having been beaten less than a length at Musselburgh last time.
