Yul Finegold's recent close-up second came in a seller while Hanno and Footstepsintherain where both placed over a mile on their latest starts with the former preferred over today's longer trip. But CHERRY STREET made the frame over course and distance three weeks ago when clear of the rest and looks capable of scoring off his current mark. The unreliable Le Deluge is due one of his better efforts having won at Southwell on his penultimate start but Tight Lipped's losing run now stretches back to 2013.
