Affirmatively has not been seen since only beating one home in the Albany Stakes in June and has to be of interest in a handicap off a mark of just 75 but more solid claims are held by Last of The Line, who gets the vote over Hucking Hero. The last mentioned looks to be going the right way judged by his latest effort here over a mile and has claims dropping back to seven furlongs and racing off a 1lb lower mark today. Tony Carroll's Harbour Blues has more to do than when landing a Wolverhampton claimer last time, while Yamanmickmccann is interesting on his debut in this grade but he may be a shade high in the weights. The vote then goes to Last of The Line who was good value for his win at Kempton last time and he is taken to defy the penalty for that success.
