Pokfulham would prefer a longer trip nowadays but Royal Swain scored over 1m6f in heavy going at Carlisle recently and has decent claims on his first start for a new yard. Lady Bluesky makes more appeal than Lady Kashaan, due to run at Ayr yesterday, on today's ground while Bavarian Nordic didn't appear to stay 2m last time but can figure over this distance. Tartan Jura is the dark horse as he showed ability in maidens last year and William Buick is on board for his return but a chance is taken on MOIDORE. He finished a creditable fourth in a higher-grade handicap over 1m4f here last month and can return to winning ways in this company.
