Looking For Carl and Tin Fandango were staying on behind Dame Nellie over 1m4f here last time so are worth trying over this trip. Trinitas has been showing promise over the trip and should be in the firing-line again. Ripon third Mount Cleshar is another with claims while Press Gang was second over 1m6f at Chelmsford two years ago. INNOKO has been thereabouts off this sort of mark this year and was far from disgraced in a much better race at Bath last time when meeting trouble in-running. He’s a previous course winner and is overdue another victory.
