Telson Barley won at Warwick in May but was beaten 17 lengths by the enigmatic His Dream at Stratford later. Ormesher is race-fit but hasn’t managed a win this year and connections will be disappointed that the going is not softer. JIMMI CHEW was raised 5lb after winning at Uttoxeter but the fourth has since franked the form and Alex Hales’ charge can double up in this as it looks like King Cool has gone off the boil.
