DALVEY had the stamina to score over 2m here and the pace to beat Bowerman, who won this in 2020, over this trip last week. He'll be better off at the weights with Sam Ewing's claim taken into consideration and can go in again. In From The Cold was beaten four lengths into fifth and looks held but Summit Star is in tremendous form and though having plenty to do on official ratings is on the upgrade. Isle Of Sark hasn't won since his debut in 2020 but he's generally competed at a higher level and shouldn't lack for fitness on his first start since September.
