Not much to get excited about in this division with Rich Cummins failing to fire when favourite over the trip at Wetherby. VICTORIANO was slowly away when fourth over course and distance last week so did well to finish fourth. If he gets away on terms today, he should go close and he holds Tabou Beach Boy on the form book. Robeam can also figure if he lasts home over this much longer trip while Battle Of Pembroke switches surface to make his handicap debut.
