Invoke is often fancied and Michael Bell's only runner at the meeting seems likely to be the subject of further support today. KYLLACHY STAR is conversely well exposed but Richard Fahey's eight-year-old showed he retains a modicum of ability when second at Ayr and while the handicapper's decision to raise him is a little spiteful he should be able to overcome it. Native Falls may have been turned over at short odds on two recent starts but his stable has begun to hit form again and Neil Farley's 3lb claim could prove invaluable. Tracy Waggott's team are also in good nick so previous course and distance winner Whispered Times is no forlorn hope despite a lengthy losing run. Real Tigress has been a credit to Les Eyre and the mare has underlined herself as an ultra-consistent performer over 7f.
