Carlos Du Fruitier is penalised for last month’s victory at Warwick and MCGOWAN’S PASS can take advantage. The latter made a promising start with a second in heavy ground at Ayr and can go one better in this. Oscar Mor has won a point-to-point and finished in front of Ghafaan when fifth in a bumper at Wetherby while the newcomer Starfall is Flat-bred and makes little appeal.
