Lissen To The Lady is 8lb higher than when winning this last year but arrives in peak form again. Deluxe Range is also a previous course and distance winner and Les's Legacy won over a slightly shorter trip here last month - Dillan Hurst takes off 7lb again. Topkapi Star won over further at Carlisle and You Name Him has won four of his last six and finished second in the other two. Coniston Clouds gave weight and a beating to a previous winner at Carlisle so is much respected but the extra yardage will suit winning pointer HASHTAG BOUM and he races off the same mark as when only beaten a head on his handicap debut at Sedgefield.
