A tumble down the weights and the step up to today's distance saw DELLBUOY return to form. He had Yes Chef back in fifth when scoring over track and trip and can defy a 5lb rise. Swift Blade is a rare winner but can make the frame off his current mark while Sugar Hiccup returns to the Flat on a decent mark for his all-weather debut. Comedy House is only 11lb higher than when winning over 2m here during the summer and Ibiza Sunset is fit from hurdling though he's won just the once in 18 starts on the level.
