A rejuvenated Swiss Cross won his fifth race of 2016 when scoring at Lingfield last week but carries a penalty. Tellovoi narrowly beat Inaam at Chelmsford last time but the latter got no luck in-running and may well turn the tables while Like No Other went close over track and trip recently and can also figure. Playtothewhistle has to race off a 9lb higher mark back on the all-weather so the vote goes to the less-exposed ROLLER (NAP) to show further progress now handicapping having won a maiden here on his first start since June.
