Andrea Atzeni is an interesting jockey booking for Hafeet Alain and Dingle is still on a fair mark despite a 6lb rise for winning at Newcastle. Final Voyage hasn’t won in more than two years but has only found one too good the last twice at Dundalk and crack apprentice Billy Loughnane takes over the reins. Fellow Irish raider Mulgrave is on a four-timer and Brewing defends an unbeaten record, though is conceding weight all round. Aussie Banker was just beaten at Kempton when last seen but COURT OF SESSION was an eye-catcher in that contest and may have seen too much daylight when third later at Southwell. He needs forgiving a poor run at Wolverhampton last time and will need luck today from a wide draw but shouldn’t be underestimated.
