Minella Suite was close up when unseating his rider at Kelso in March having finished second at Catterick on his chasing bow. He has more scope than the majority of these and should be thereabouts if fully wound-up. Cooper's Friend has slipped 15lb down the weights since last successful so must have some sort of chance. My Idea has only won once since 2014 but that was over this track and trip last month and he's only 4lb higher. ACHILL ROAD BOY is returning to action on a potentially-lenient mark. The drop back in distance is a slight concern but this is a stiff track and he should go close granted a decent pace.
