Conditions will turn this into a real test of stamina and that will suit COME HERE YEW, who just failed to overhaul Gordonsville over 2m at Musselburgh 11 days ago. He can again beat third and fourth Jonny Delta and Orsippus and land this. Tiger Cliff is very lightly-raced and looks ready for a step up in trip but this may be too much too soon for easy Chester winner Livery and Salisbury scorer The Betchworth Kid may struggle under a penalty. Yours Ever also carries extra after getting off the mark over 2m at Haydock but should again beat General Ting and could be on the upgrade. Daneking was third over 1m4f at Goodwood last time and could figure but Porcini's winning run has come on the Polytrack and last year's November Handicap third Merchant Of Dubai seems a shadow of his former self.
