Newmarket winner Brentford Hope struggled under a penalty at York last time while Casting Vote landed the odds at Windsor and My Frankel was successful at Leicester. But all three of the above step up in trip today and have to concede weight to DUBAI WELCOME (NAP), who finished in front of a couple of subsequent winners when runner-up at Yarmouth on his debut and looks sure to make a bold bid in this. Kashi turned-in a poor effort last time having gone close over 1m3f here before that while Megans Approach is related to winners and a newcomer to note.
