Misty Mai won over the course and distance in March last year from a 16lb higher mark and has run quite well in her two recent starts, the latest over a trip too short. ONE STYLE was in fine form when last seen in April last year, scoring over 2m5f on heavy going here then winning easily over the same trip at Market Rasen. He has yet to prove he stays this far but looks well handicapped and could be a bit better than these. Lord In Red has no problems with the trip having scored twice in the summer though both times on much quicker ground than he'll face here. With his stable still firing the winners in, Benechenko has to be a major threat after a fine chasing debut at Taunton where he was staying on strongly over that 2m7f trip. Fact Flow looks best of the remainder.
