RESTORER, who has been knocking on the door on the all-weather, is 10lb lower than his last winning mark on Turf and can wind back the clock to beat younger rivals. Bollin Joan won over 1m2f here last year and over 1m4f at York but may need to drop a few pounds, though is preferred to stablemate Fishable. State Of Bliss is back on a winning mark and has had a couple of runs so looks a danger while Leicester winner Noman is 3-5 in career starts but Lexington Knight was among the first beaten when favourite at Doncaster last month.
