WINK OF AN EYE had the proverbial ton in hand when beating Something Enticing a couple of lengths at Sandown and could be even better stepping up another furlong so is fancied to complete the four-timer, despite a further 7lb rise. State Of Bliss deserves a change of luck and can figure again if handling conditions but Barn Owl may be a bigger danger having won over this trip at Redcar before coming up against a rejuvenated Just Fine at Sandown. Scampi is running well but climbing the weights without winning and the handicapper has taken no chances with the Godolphin runner Marching Army.
