The penalised Strummer had to slide down the weights before finally opening his account at Wolverhampton and others are preferred. Nonchalant could figure dropping down a grade but has just the one win in 29 starts so DILETTA TOMMASA makes more appeal having finished second at Wolverhampton last time when ahead of Yasir. A winner over 1m2f, Stoneboat Bill steps up in trip while Miss Tree won over 1m6f at Catterick recently. Aurora Gray and Glasgon are others to consider on the back of recent placed efforts.
