Ugo Gregory has been doing most of his racing at Beverley this year but didn’t handle heavy going there latest. EXCEEDINGLY REGAL wintered in the UAE and was having his first run since March when second at Yarmouth last month. Any improvement on that would make his difficult to beat here. Lockdown Lass couldn’t complete the hat-trick off this mark at Doncaster last month but has place claims again and Ravenglass was also a beaten favourite at that track last time and has changed stables since. Finbar's Lad won over a mile here in June but couldn’t follow up at Musselburgh.
