Plenty with claims including recent course and distance winner Surrey Noir despite a 7lb rise. But ELZAAM BLUE just missed out over track and trip a week ago and it could be his turn again. Saturnalia went close again at Lingfield and Dionysian has a shout on a third at Southwell while Starlight Nation placed at Ascot and is not out of this. Deceiver has plenty of scope returning from a lay-off having won a novices race here early in the year.
