Winning Streak finished a lot closer dropped down into this grade at Wolverhampton last time and can confirm running with Little Brown Trout and Dazzling Des in this. Birkenhead won over the minimum trip here last month and is raised 5lb for his first attempt at 6f while Baileys Blues and LAKEVIEW go handicapping for the first time having found one too good on their respective latest starts. But that was the latter’s first outing since April having been gelded subsequently and David Loughnane’s charge can make up for lost time by landing this.
