Beat The Bell had Aye Aye Digby back in third when landing a Goodwood handicap last month. He's a pound better off here so there appears no reason why the form should be reversed. Silenzio had the maiden Midnight Feast behind at Windsor earlier this month and has finished third at Salisbury since. He has claims but the three-year-old Sandbetweenourtoes appears to have plenty to find at the weights. HAADEETH has been tackling better company over 5f lately but three of his four wins have come over this trip and, as long the ground doesn't get any softer, he has plenty going for him here under claimer Matthew Cosham - he gets the nod.
