Fingal's Cave couldn't have gone any closer to shedding his maiden tag at York last time and probably deserves a change of luck. He's unlikely to be far away again but this will be his first experience of an easy surface so it might be worth taking a chance on BEST DRESSED. David Brown's colt has already been placed over further so should last home- he got trapped wide when disappointing at Pontefract last week. Little Palaver hasn't done much wrong so far and is another to consider while Goring has form on heavy ground. Newcomer Elysian Flyer adds to the interest.
