Be Fair won over 1m4f here last month but previous attempts at this longer trip fail to inspire confidence. TIMESTAMP has yet to race over this far but was narrowly beaten over 1m6f at Southwell recently and drops down a grade for this. Easy Equation went close over track and trip earlier in the week and finished in front of Got Bright earlier while Winklevi gets a change of headgear having disappointed at Kempton last month.
