Uptown Harry won this in 2021 and got his head back in front at Carlisle in March. METHODTOTHEMADNESS had excuses when pulled up at Bangor in the same month. She’d won twice earlier at Musselburgh and shouldn’t be written off just yet. Victory Echo followed up a win here last month with a second at Market Rasen last week but Breaking The Ice, who has had wind surgery since last seen, and Frau Georgia are best watched. Everyday Champagne has gone up 4lb for finishing second twice and is now 7lb higher than for his victory at Doncaster.
