Lincoln has his sights lowered a little and could run well at decent odds but the ground has turned against course and distance winner Directorship. Czech It Out wouldn't be without a chance but the three-year-olds could dominate the finish. Pyjama Party and Spring Offensive arrive off the back of respective victories at Haydock and Musselburgh and are consistent overall but KEYSTROKE can extend his unbeaten record. He had the proverbial ton in hand when making a winning handicap debut at Windsor and can defy an 8lb rise in the weights on this better grade.
