Medburn Cutler has an 8lb rise to contend with after scoring over track and trip last time. He had earlier finished ahead of TIJORI here but the latter re-opposes on better terms today and was beaten only a head on his latest start. Smoker has a shout if lasting home while Jezza won off a 4lb lower mark over today's trip at Newcastle in October. Taste The Wine has plenty to find with the selection and Dukes Den was still beaten out of sight despite finishing second at Bath a week ago when Lucky Diva was tailed off.
