A devilishly-tricky finale but a case can be made for Dapper Man, who is conceding weight all round but won this last year when 5lb lower. Koropick is starting to look well treated while it would be no surprise to see Debawtry get much closer to Newcastle conqueror Glorious Rio back on Turf. Buniann certainly deserves a change of luck and Street Life arrives on a four-timer while Albegone is on a hat-trick but carries a double penalty. Tim Easterby also runs Tom's Reign Beau but Refuge and Harrogate are closely matched on the form book. COUNTRY CHARM could go well at a price with the draw closest to the stands rail. She hinted at a revival at Catterick last time and has been dropped a further 3lb since.
