LILKIAN was just beaten at Yarmouth five days ago. He has a much higher rating on the all-weather but is best on this surface and 7lb claimer Liam Wright has already won three times on the six-year-old. Jungle Run is far less exposed and more progressive but has gone up 7lb for winning at Chelmsford. Fierce looks the pick of the three-year-olds and is also preferred to last month’s course and distance winner Knockout Blow.
