Vocatus won a maiden at Galway when last in action and debuts for Mick Appleby while Blonde Warrior has also switched yards having failed to win last year. Burford Brown is another having his first outing for new connections while Sir Titan scored over track and trip in September and is 5lb higher on his reappearance. But ARIGATO (NAP) has a recent run under his belt and the course and distance winner also scored off today’s mark on the July course here last summer. William Jarvis’ charge may prove the one to side with given Merchant Of Venice has so far done all his winning on the all-weather.
