Fivetwoeight had returned a losing favourite in his previous four starts before scoring over track and trip last month for Peter Chapple-Hyam. The latter formerly trained TIME ZONE, who was having his first start of the year when placed over course and distance on his debut for Bob Cowell’s yard. He’s needs to reverse running with the more exposed Kamra but is taken to do so. Dream Catching is another recent course winner but is raised a further 4lb. Acrux finished in front of Glory of Paris when landing a claimer at the track last month and is preferred to VJ Day.
