A couple of these aren't badly treated on their best form but the likes of Realt Na Mara and Advertise are out of sorts and Hand Painted would probably prefer a faster surface, though anything Simon Walker rides in contests of this nature has to be respected. Scorn could find this trip on the sharp side, but The Name Is Frank had Sunrise Lyric a long way behind in a claimer here last time and has a better chance at the weights in this. Mr Udagawa has been put up 2lb since finishing a close third at Goodwood but can't be ignored in first-time blinkers though narrow preference is for FITZ. Considering he's been in good form all year, it's a surprise he continues to be eased by the handicapper and can take advantage dropped in trip here.
