Zac Brown remains on a winning mark despite a 4lb rise for last month’s victory over 6f here and can figure again. Volatile notched-up a hat-trick over longer trips on the all-weather earlier this year while Show Palace won five times with cut in the ground last season and is having only his second start on the all-weather. Something Lucky was runner-up over track and trip last time but is upped in class and a chance is taken on POYLE VINNIE. He doesn’t win that often nowadays but has scored off higher marks in the past and will find this easier than his latest task at York.
