Charlotte Jenner conjured a storming late run to victory out of Bennelong over course and distance a week ago and it will be intriguing to see if the pair can repeat the dose here. He certainly warrants shortlist inclusion after that performance, as does Lily Edge, a winner of two of her last three starts on the Kempton Polytrack. Five-time course winner Salient usually enjoys his days out here and could go well off the bottom perch but TIN PAN ALLEY is one with the possibility of progress on achievements to date. The six-year-old only has five starts to his name and shaped with some promise on his first start for two years at Yarmouth this month, his first run for Sean Curran. Interestingly, he was well supported that day and it's noteworthy to see that Adam Kirby, unquestionably the most effective pilot around here, has been booked.
