Sophisticated Heir just held on from WOODACRE to score at Beverley last time. But the latter found his way blocked at a crucial time in the race and can take his revenge with a clear run. Truancy continued his good progress with a win over track and trip to land a hat-trick. He's up a further 6lb and may get taken on for the lead in this by recent Newmarket runner-up Master Of Finance. Ty Gwr and Ambleside make their belated seasonal debuts but both are worth noting for any significant support in the betting.
