George Morland bids for a hat-trick raised 5lb while Love Dreams is upped in class after scoring over track and trip. He's A Gentleman also won a lower grade contest last time but Island Bandit missed out on a four-timer when well beaten at Windsor and Jade Country was narrowly beaten at the same track last week. Majestic Fighter can figure back over this longer trip but EBTIHAAJ was having his first outing since April when third in maiden company at Southwell having been well supported in the betting. He can improve now handicapping and gets the vote.
