Grams And Ounces landed a gamble when upped in trip at Hereford six days ago but may not be suited by a return to 2m and also has a penalty to carry. Trip The Light looks to have been harshly assessed for his win in a Plumpton novice hurdle while Giant O Murchu has had a couple of months off since finishing third at Ascot. The three-year-old Royal Opera could be interesting with his feather weight as he's not done a lot wrong so far but Enfant De Lune is hard to predict and Pepite Rose probably needs further. BIN END showed his win here last month to be no fluke as he was in the process of running another good race in a Grade 2 at Ascot last time when falling two out. Providing that hasn't left its mark, Barry Brennan's novice can bounce back here as he looks better treated than fellow C&D winner Minsky Mine.
