Night Of Sin has come up against progressive chasers in both starts this term and finished ahead of Keep Moving here last month. He likes to race up with the pace so this drop in trip might suit. Solar Impulse has aged well and rarely runs a bad race while Frero Banbou in interesting after a pipe-opener over hurdles. Folly Gate fell at Taunton but still has time on his side. Equus Millar will have benefited from an outing at Wetherby and Mine's A Pint has already won twice this term but Saint De Vassy and GOLDEN WHISKY could also figure returning to action. The latter’s third behind a couple of smart performers at Chepstow last season is probably the best form on offer.
