Ramo has been in good form on soft ground and completed a double with a recent success at Newton Abbot. Sporting Ace found one too good yet again at Uttoxeter last time but Crossing The Bar scored over track and trip in February, though is upped in class for this. Surrey Quest drops back down a grade but a chance is taken on HEAVEN SMART. The latter has yet to win in six starts over timber so far but it was good effort when fourth at Ascot last time and Jamie Moore is back on board for this.
