Dual novice winner Sporting Hero and Secret Guest step back up in distance while Harry Magnus drops down in trip after completing a double over 7f. King's Crown and CAPTAIN CUDDLES are both dropped in class with a speculative vote going to the latter who failed to see out the 7f at Newbury on his reappearance and will be better suited by today’s faster going. Hover On The Wind makes most appeal of those handicapping for the first time.
