Ad Vitam won over 6f here in December but is 5lb higher. Orlando Rogue scored over a mile at the track in January but has won over this shorter trip before so can't be ignored. Mr Potter was successful over 7f at Chelmsford recently and is another to consider but it could be the turn of JUSTICE PLEASING today. The latter has gone close over track and trip on his last three outings and Roger Fell’s charge can deservedly go one better in this. Top Offer’s only win of last year came in a seller while Centre Haafhd has not won since 2014.
