Ian Williams won this a year ago and today's three entries are in excellent form. Restorer is only 1lb higher than when landing a handicap at this level at Leicester; Reshoun, who won over the track and trip last October, returned to winning ways on heavy ground at Haydock; while Baydar finished runner-up at York though that was over 2m. Hughie Morrison has four entries with Buzz probably the best of them after landing the Dubai Duty Free Handicap at Newbury, his third victory in four starts, for which he's up 5lb. ROYAL LINE finished an honourable seventh in this last year and though unraced since landing an Epsom handicap in April he won't fail through lack of fitness and can reappear with a victory. My Lord And Master only just failed to get up at York and though that was over an extended 1m2f and he hasn't proven himself at this trip his pedigree suggests he'll have no problems staying.
