Lady De Vesci has won four times around here including from a 1lb higher mark a couple of years ago but NEXT IN LINE was making his debut here when beating all bar Winner Takes Itall over the trip last week. That was his first start since August and he completed a double in mid-summer so looks the one to beat with Luke McAteer's claim a plus. Swift Wing landed a claimer over 1m4f last week but this looks tougher while Crescent Lake is up 9lb for a comfortable track and trip victory and doesn't have Sam Ewing's claim to aid his cause. Magi Gal has won over the trip but appeared to enjoy stepping up to 1m4f last month and is 6lb higher.
