INNOKO is getting closer as he slips down the handicap and was beaten only a head at Wolverhampton a week ago. Tony Carroll's charge should be bang there at the finish once again racing off the same mark. Shirataki was placed over track and trip a fortnight ago but not far in front of fourth-placed Fair Comment and that pair are hard to separate while Rose Above and Golden Thread could both go well off their current marks. Castlemorris King returns from a lengthy absence and the winning hurdler has not scored on the level since 2011.
