LEWAMY finally made the most of a tumble down the weights when scoring at Kempton last month. He's the one to beat if proving as effective on this track. A few of the opposition arrive on the back of placed efforts but none threatened the winner, including recent course and distance runner-up Trust Me Boy. Sea Whisper and Bold Max made the frame over 6f here last time while Lucky Surprise wasn't beaten far when fourth over the minimum trip. La Danza may prove best of the rest.
