Smuggler's Stash has a course and distance victory to his credit and has won from higher marks on heavy ground. Mymilan scored on heavy going at Carlisle a year ago though that was over 2 miles and he's yet to prove he stays this far. The Dawn Man scored over the trip in testing conditions at Wetherby in March but ran a shocker a couple of weeks later at Fontwell where by the track didn't suit. ASKING FOR ANSWERS was having his 13th start under Rules when scoring with a bit in hand at Ayr where his stamina came into play. He's 6lb higher but looks the one to beat. Ciarabella is 0-9 and has been well beaten when tackling these sort of conditions.
