Placed in decent company at Ascot and again here last time, TOP OF THE BILL can make it third-time lucky. The Plimsoll Line has a couple of lengths to find on the latter run but is open to improvement, as is Wincanton runner-up Roko George. P T Barnum cost €60,000 so is worth a market check given his stable is more than capable of getting one ready at home.
