Stow won at Chepstow and Newbury last season but is now 11lb higher than his last success. Trendelenburg beat Catleen at Fairyhouse in January and has won three of his last four starts over timber. He's an obvious contender here while Jaunty Journey hinted at a revival at Chepstow earlier this month and Ayr fourth Elzahann isn't badly treated on her best form. Snake Charmer could also play a part if on a going day but BORERO has been coaxed back to his best by Mick Easterby lately and, only 4lb higher than when successful at Bangor three weeks ago, the gelding is fancied to add to his tally here.
