Filun has done well for Anthony Middleton this year and keeps defying the handicapper. But he's gone up a further 9lb since his last success and could struggle to give weight to DANVILLA. Paul Webber's four-year-old shrugged off a six-month absence to score a shade cosily over this trip at Kempton last month and still has plenty of scope. Gloucester has looked out of sorts lately, but True To Form should strip fitter for his run at Windsor and is worth a try over this longer trip. Front-runner Mons Calpe may be the pick of the remainder as maiden Eastern Magic was easily brushed aside off a lower mark at Newbury last time.
