Young Tiger won this in 2020 and has dropped to his lowest mark since the previous year. Dapper Man will be having his 90th start and has also won once around here amongst his 14 career victories. He hasn't been on a mark this low since completing a double in 2018. Canaria Prince is in much better form than the pair of them and loves fast ground as he showed when scoring at Beverley. However, he was receiving 1lb when beaten a neck by ELZAAL at Carlisle in May and Paul Midgley's charge is receiving 1lb here so looks the one to beat. The three-year-old Imperial Khan improved on quick ground at Hamilton an d wouldn't need much more to get involved. Bicep's lone success came on Polytrack but he hasn't been running badly in slightly higher grade handicaps.
