Rock Icon won over a mile at Wolverhampton last week but has yet to score over this far while Broughtons Story remains 7lb higher than when successful at Yarmouth last year and needs to improve further. Betsalottie won over track and trip a week ago and has been raised 5lb. He should be thereabouts once again but ESTIBDAAD is just preferred. The latter was beaten only a length when fifth here last time and is taken to confirm running with Attain racing off a 3lb higher mark than when successful at Chelmsford last year.
