Line Of Reason and last year’s winner Boom The Groom have a touch of class but the weight to match. VIBRANT CHORDS beat A Momentofmadness over track and trip in May with Dark Shot and Kasbah third and fifth respectively. Henry Candy’s sprinter was beaten over 6f here subsequently and is 6lb higher but possibly has more to offer over the minimum trip and a high draw may prove beneficial today. Atletico had no trouble getting back to winning ways when dropped to 5f at Windsor and should again beat Pettochside and Union Rose but Love On The Rocks has more to do than when winning at the same track last time and veteran Confessional has picked up a penalty for ending a long losing run at Chester on Saturday though, along with Harry Hurricane, finished close up in this last year when a pound higher.
