Stoichkov was gaining his first ever success over the track and trip two weeks ago and a 5lb rise shouldn't be a problem with Luke Demspey able to claim 7lb. HOUSE LIMIT returned from a poor spell of hurdling to chase home Esytopolishadimond and a similar effort here should be good enough for him to get off the mark. Beart is only 3lb higher than for his only victory here a year ago and he wasn't too far behind Stoichkov last time, nor was Maundy Money, though he has never won on the surface in 15 starts. Gold Falcon was also close up and did well as he missed the break and was struggling to get in touch.
