Manorbank won easily at Chepstow when partnered by a 7lb conditional and is also penalised as he steps up in trip. Market Rasen winner The Same failed to cope with a penalty when only third here so a chance is taken on LELANT. The latter posted an improved effort when runner-up over track and trip in March and looks to have his ground once again. Norn Iron also finished closer over 2m here last time and is preferred to Hobb's Delight.
