Both New Strategy and Jacquotte Delahaye scored over track and trip in this grade last time with the former looking more progressive and preferred. Mezzotint has slipped down the weights and finished closer at Leicester last time but Mickey Haller is upped in class after making the frame in a Chepstow maiden. Tajathub won here before running a shocker on his handicap debut but another chance goes to BIG WHISKEY, who had the excuse of testing ground for a poor run at Newbury last time but had gone close at Sandown on a couple of runs earlier.
