King Bolete was well beaten on his only start over this trip but has bounced back this campaign with handicap victories over 1m4f at Haydock and Ascot. He's been raised 10lb for his latest success and this looks tougher. Tawdeea was only just behind him at Haydock but is no better off and the positions should be confirmed. QEWY was racing at a high level over jumps last season before reverting to the Flat at Ascot where he just failed to concede 7lb to Jennies Jewel. He may find this on the short side on quick ground though there's likely to be a blistering pace and his stamina can come into play. Arch Villain has a course and distance victory to his credit though he's been confined to racing on the all-weather since 2013. Fun Mac would have a chance if back to last summer's form as he's won over the trip while Francis Of Assisi did well over hurdles for John Ferguson.
