Athollblair Boy held off the attentions of Major Crispies to win over course and distance three weeks ago with Perfect Symphony back in fifth and has been raised 4lb. Major Crispies is one of three David O’Meara representatives with jockey bookings pointing to Hamish Mcgonagain, who remains 7lb higher than winning at Nottingham in August while The Amber Fort looks to be treading water of similar marks recently. But SEE THE SUN has slid down the weights since last successful and, having gone close over the minimum trip the last twice, Tim Easterby’s charge looks set for a return to winning ways back over 6f today.
