Takeonefortheteam won here back in June and was a beaten favourite when fourth over track and trip last month. He finished behind runner-up FITZROVIA on that occasion when Ed De Giles’s charge was beaten only a neck and the latter can be excused a recent fourth in soft going at Nottingham. Lothario finished further behind the selection while Mini Milk scored here last month but is 9lb higher today having struggled at Salisbury since. Cape Greco’s earlier placed efforts came over 7f while Say It's Me is one of the less exposed.
