To Live continues to let supporters down and the French import is worth opposing here under top weight. PEAK SEASONS wouldn't normally appeal under a penalty but Gerald Galligan put up 4lb overweight when he won at Towcester last month so he doesn't have much more to do here. Another course win looks on the cards with Burnt Again, Festival Bound and Get Ready To Go all returning from a break and Monroe Park a modest maiden.
