Most of these are old pals and beat each other in turn with Meishar and No Speed Limit doing battle again after they were separated by a neck over 5f a week ago. The winner is 1lb better off but both will be just as at home over the extra furlong, as will sixth-placed Pinball Wizard who was out with the washing at halfway but finished with a rattle. SISTER LOLA had earlier beaten the latter and Meishar over this trip then didn't appreciate the step up to a mile in a better-class race last week so gets the vote. Brushwork enters the equation on last month's improved run while Dream Today, who has never won here, has been narrowly beaten by the selection and Arcanears recently.
