This looks far from straightforward. Fierami has yet to make any impact over fences but was placed in the pointing sphere last time. He looks to face a tough task off topweight. Casa Tall has been diving down the weights over the past year and is therefore well handicapped at his best and Cobden is booked. He does need to bounce back though. DINDIN also needs to recover from a poor effort last time but is otherwise a consistent sort at this level and it may be worth giving him another chance on his favoured trip and ground. High Noon has dropped 16lb since April and looks on the downgrade but stable inmates do have the knack of finding form when least expected. He's not ruled out, but Edmund Dantes and Marajman do need to find some improvement and Eurowork is hard to recommend.
