Hoofalong has been threatening to get his head back in front and finished in front of Swiss Cross when runner-up here last time. But another chance goes to GUISHAN, third at Lingfield last week and a winner off a similar mark over track and trip earlier in the year. Yeeoow was a losing favourite in a plating race here a week ago while Clubland has won three times this year but was well beaten off today's mark last time. Stellarta is not badly weighted back on the all-weather and preferred to the likes of Luis Vaz De Torres and Dark Side Dream.
