Country'n'western drops back down in trip having gone close over 1m4f at Wolverhampton and can figure again. But PIONEERING was in good form here in June when scoring over track and trip and gets a tentative vote back at this venue. Najashee struggled over a longer trip in soft going last time but is not out of this while Percy Toplis has been in better form lately though has yet to win on the all-weather. Bayston Hill is back on a winning mark if rediscovering his best.
