Trimoulet is upped in class under a penalty after scoring at Wolverhampton while Snowmane has been raised a further 4lb for finishing second at Brighton. INJUN SANDS (NAP) scored over track and trip in June and went close again over 1m6f at Haydock last time. He gets the nod given Cape Castle ran a shocker at Sandown last time having rattled-up a hat-trick earlier. The Quarterjack was placed here back in April and makes more appeal than Devon Drum of the remainder.
