Lil Sophella and Invoke finished virtually upsides at Chester last time though the former scored over track and trip before that and makes most appeal of that pair. Yojojo finished closer over a longer trip at Brighton last week and is looking to end a long losing run while Push Me remains 4lb higher than last year's win at Ayr. But ASSAULT ON ROME arrives in the best form having won at Leicester and going close to defying a 6lb rise when beaten only a nose at Beverley last week. She gets the nod given she also beat Liberty Sky when landing a maiden last year.
