Mohawk Ridge won over course and distance last month and is only 5lb higher but today's quicker ground is a major worry. Bright Applause won at Catterick on his reappearance and Mr Snoozy was second over 1m2f here on his return to action and stays the extra. But we're going to stick with NABURN, who appears to have improved over the winter judged on his victory over this track and trip a little under two weeks ago. Silver Tigress is starting to edge towards a decent mark but Looks Like Rain is a stayer who'll be seen to better effect when sent back over 2m.
