None of these have won here but RESILIENCE finished runner-up on his only start on the track and his third behind Tees Spirit, who won a Listed race in Ireland on Friday, at Doncaster puts him in the driving seat. Instinction has won at Newcastle so should have no problems with the surface while Income, a winner at Newmarket in June, finished runner-up at Wolverhampton last time. High Velocity is a dual Tapeta winner but ran poorly at Yarmouth last time while Shanko hasn't made progress from completing a Chelmsford double over the winter.
