Jan Smuts won this off a higher mark last year and may bounce back. Rembrandt went close over 2m at Redcar on his penultimate start and can figure while both La Fritillaire and Medina Sidonia won staying races at Pontefract last season and the former has a recent outing under his belt. MYSTERIAL attempts today’s distance for the first time but is back on a winning mark and wasn’t beaten far when fourth over 1m6f at Doncaster last week. He’s preferred to Wishing Well as he drops down a grade for this and can come out best.
