Stately Home hasn’t raced since finishing a close-up fifth here in May with JEAN BAPTISTE (NAP) behind. But the latter was beaten less than a length back here last month and can race off the same mark as when successful over track and trip last summer. Sid's Annie is upped in class bidding for a hat-trick while Arranmore was narrowly beaten at Haydock but also faces a tougher task today. Auld Toon Loon can do better back over this shorter distance but Compliant returned a losing favourite once again at Doncaster.
