Consign failed to cope with a 6lb rise when returning a losing favourite at Sandown and is dropping back in trip. Skytrain has beaten both Poisson D'or and Benoni this season but all three look high enough in the weights at present along with Azrael. Recent Polytrack winner Balti's Sister has just the one victory on Turf and can race off a lower mark as a consequence while Amadeus Wolfe Tone has a shout having slipped down the handicap this year.
