Clifftop Heaven just came up short bidding for a first victory in 10 on Turf over course and distance eight days ago. Fandabidozi should be thereabouts again having placed in small fields in two runs this year. There is plenty of stamina in Summer's Knight’s pedigree and he’s a pound lower than a beaten favourite over 1m2f at Brighton but SEAGULLS NEST gets a final chance having run well for third at Yarmouth 12 days ago when tackling fast ground for the first time
