Taglietelle was fourth here in the Coral Cup at the 2015 Festival and later beat Call The Cops and The Tourard Man at Aintree. But only one of the last seven winners has carried more than 11st. Ireland holds a strong hand with Charles Byrnes' TOP OF THE TOWN just preferred to fellow hat-trick seeker Eshtiaal getting 12lb. For Good Measure probably still isn't badly treated despite having been raised 4lb so going close at Market Rasen in May and he makes more appeal than stablemate Golden Doyen. Zarib didn't appear to stay 3m at Haydock in the spring but Petethepear won at that track in March and remains largely unexposed. Listen And Learn may be best of the rest as Will O'the West and Luccombe Down will both be carrying more than their allotted weight.
