Charismatic Man is upped 5lb for winning over 1m6f at Wolverhampton but stays this far and can confirm latest running with third-placed Tetradrachm. Tyrell won over hurdles in December but is 5lb higher than when going close at Windsor when last on the Flat while Dire Straits returns to this code for the first time since 2014 having won twice over timber subsequently. KING CALYPSO (NAP) found Next Train’s Gone a length too good over track and trip on his reappearance but the latter won again earlier this week so Denis Coakley’s charge gets the vote on the strength of that form.
