Stentorian bids for a hat-trick but it was only an amateurs' event he won last time and he's 10lb higher than when scoring over track and trip before that. SCOTTISH BOOGIE makes more appeal as he takes a drop in class having come up against the progressive Harry Buckle on his recent outings. Brendan Powell's charge can take advantage and come out best in this given Norfolk Sky is up another 5lb for his recent win over 1m2f here and Pahente takes a 10lb hike up the weights after his easy win in a low grade grade handicap at Kempton. Last year's winner The Holyman is out of form and Where's Susie needs to improve.
