Last year's winner BALMORAL CASTLE (NAP) notched-up his fourth win over course and distance when scoring here earlier in the month. He is taken to confirm superiority with Angelic Upstart and Imshivalla despite a 3lb rise. Raw Impulse went close on his handicap bow and has plenty of scope but Peak Storm is upped in class after winning over today's trip at Newbury. Shaakis is not out of this having finished ahead of First Dream when going close off today's mark over a mile at Pontefract last time.
