Few make much appeal and ACES can take advantage of a slide down the weights on the back of finishing second at Kempton last time. Irish Times went close over track and trip only to disappoint when behind runner-up Brazen Arrow back here but the latter has subsequently run below par. Maid Millie is back on a winning mark if returning to her best, however, and Vincenzo Coccotti won here back in September.
