Victoriously is on a hat-trick having won at the end of last year and going in again at Lingfield in April. He’s 6lb higher on his reappearance while Wootyhoot went close over track and trip before disappointing over a mile here last time. HEDIDDODINTHE was having only his second start in a handicap when runner-up here three weeks ago. He gets the nod to go one better with plenty of scope for improvement. Fintech is another lightly-raced sort while Zoffany Bay is not badly treated but unpredictable.
