Skytrain arrives on the back of a win at Wolverhampton but a 5lb rise may anchor him and Jubilee Brig has been raised the same amount for his recent victory at the same track. Evanescent also looks in the handicapper's grip and Solar Spirit is upped in class after making the frame in a claimer here a fortnight ago. Wannabe King scored off a higher mark at Redcar last season but SHOWBOATING is preferred. The latter won four times last year including over course and distance and Alan McCabe's charge hasn't stopped improving yet judged on his narrow defeat at Thirsk last time.
