Bint Dandy took advantage of a lower mark on Turf to win at Yarmouth but is 9lb higher returning to this surface. Lastmanlastround won at Brighton earlier and was narrowly beaten at Kempton last time while Mutarakez has slipped down the weights and is unexposed on the all-weather. Ballard Down failed to cope with a 7lb rise last time having won at Wolverhampton before that so another chance goes to MICHELE STROGOFF, who was beaten only a neck on his penultimate start and won on Polytrack at Deauville when trained in France last year.
