Tailor's Row produced one of his better efforts when third at Wolverhampton last time ahead of the disappointing favourite Red Gunner - the latter gets first-time headgear today. Reign On is upped 7lb for winning a handicap over track and trip while Chica De La Noche only won a maiden race back in October. SANS SOUCI BAY appeared not to stay a mile here last time but the Hannon colt had gone close over course and distance before that. He gets another chance with Bee Case stepping up in trip on her return.
