Piccolo Mondo ran a big race at Kempton last time considering it was his first start since 2010. He'll be thereabouts with a similar effort but ROCK ANTHEM is preferred. The latter finished a close-up fourth on his latest start in better company than this and can bring a long losing run to an end off his current mark. Indian Violet is another threatening to get his head back in front, though he's 6lb higher than February's win over track and trip when he beat the re-opposing Strategic Action three lengths. Bold Ring also made the frame over 7f here last week and looks best of the rest.
