Lucky Mark won this off a similar mark last year and could well figure again but SPOWARTICUS is also a course and distance winner. The latter went close in a higher grade at Lingfield last time and Scott Dixon's charge gets the vote on that form. By Rights ran well over 5f at Nottingham recently while Pull The Pin has three course and distance wins to his credit but has not won since 2013. Coiste Bodhar scored off a higher mark here early in the year but Tellovoi's recent second at the track came over the mile trip and he has done all his winning over longer distances so far.
