Four Seasons steps up a furlong after a third at York and may figure but WHEN WILL IT END is preferred. He finished a close-up third in a higher grade handicap over track and trip last time when clear of the rest and Cam Hardie's allowance further helps his cause. Popeswood and Tachophobia won less competitive contests last time and Special Venture finished only a short-head behind the latter. Them And Us is a maiden winner at Ripon and the least exposed.
