Eastern Dragon's wins here and at Chepstow last month were achieved on soft ground. Related struggles to get his head in front but was only beaten a length-and-half over course and distance last month and Scottish Glen made a satisfactory return to Turf at Bath. Good Authority beat BRAVO ECHO by half-a-length in this last year but is now 4lb worse off and failed to take advantage of a much lower mark on Polytrack last time. Louis Steward also claims 3lb off the latter and he can have his revenge and go one better this time.
