BASTOGNE placed at Chepstow on his first start for over a year and debut for a new yard. He faces lesser opposition this time and looks up to winning off his current mark.

Capote's Dream is upped in trip while Ring of Light and Unsung Hero showed progressive form on the all-weather last year and both return to action.
