Compatriot has won twice at Wolverhampton and was second last time at Southwell but is having a first run here off a career-high mark. ATTAIN is a standing dish here and arrives in peak form after back-to-back course and distance victories under 7lb claimer Pierre-Louis Jamin – a ninth course victory may be on the cards. Smiley Bagel was beaten under two lengths last time and is better off at the weights so could make it interesting but this looks on the short side for Amanto. Cayuga has won two out of three since returning from injury but may find this tough under top weight. Stuccodor is only a plater nowadays but Scoones is unexposed compared to the majority of his rivals and sure to improve for his fourth at Chelmsford.
