Comedy Act finished ahead of Royal Swain when third at York last time but was still beaten over 11 lengths. Goldenveil has a bit to prove over today's longer trip, while recent winners Getabuzz and Think Its All Over are both facing a tougher task in this company and need to improve again. JONNY DELTA has shown good progress for the step up in distance and won nicely at Musselburgh last time despite being hampered early in the race. A 4lb rise may not be enough to prevent the follow-up with more to come over today's trip.
