Caro Des Flos won easily over a longer trip here three weeks ago but has been raised 8lb whereas SUPASUNRISE has only gone up half that amount for a hard-fought success at Warwick and the latter has the greater scope. Hard Frost will be a threat if fully wound-up having already gone close on this track and Baghdad Central should make a chaser having won a point before turning his attention to hurdles. Jack Doyen never travelled at Stratford five weeks ago but has had wind surgery since.
