CURTIZ has been raised a further 8lb having landed a hat-trick with plenty in hand when scoring at Epsom. He still looks ahead of the handicapper and is worth sticking with. Croeso Cymraeg returns from a lay-off having gone close again at Carlisle in June but Lawn Ranger was well beaten when third over track and trip having won at Windsor earlier. Sweet Reward placed on soft going here before disappointing at Sandown and Lyndon B is preferred.
