Selino seems a little harshly treated having to concede weight all round and Withoutdestination was beaten 14 lengths last time when a Doncaster runner-up. Anyonecanhaveitall is now 8lb higher than when landing his sole success and all three of Agravain's wins this term have come in Class 6 company. Well Funded has probably to improve a little to prove good enough so the choice is FUNNY MAN. He was noted staying on well over 1m4f last time so this step back up in trip should suit and enable him to handle the slight rise in grade.
