GEORGE FENTON is on the upgrade and bids for hat-trick after wins at Hamilton and Wolverhampton. Raised only 2lb for his latest narrow margin win, Richard Guest's three-year-old is taken to go in again. Alnoomaas failed in his bid for a four-timer when well beaten last time but is not easily written off while both Parisian Pyramid and Homeward Strut went close on their latest starts and should figure. Bull Bay will find this tougher than the maiden he won at Kempton and Speak The Truth is preferred as he beat Belinsky and Dorothy's Dancing when fourth at the same track recently.
