Several won their penultimate starts but failed to cope with a rise in the weights last time. That list includes Arch Moon, Shimmering Sands and Bruno's Gold though the latter is fitted with cheekpieces today. SIMPLY SONDHEIM continues to defy the handicapper having completed a four-timer when scoring at Goodwood and a further 3lb rise may not be enough to anchor George Boughey’s charge in this. Chimed was still well beaten when second at Southwell but can’t be written off just yet.
