It's likely that the track and trip here will prove too sharp for Kayfton Pete, though he is weighted to reverse Hereford running with the penalised The Tiddly Tadpole. Conditions looks perfect, however, for LAUDATORY who had Fashionable Gal well behind when winning over C&D in March and didn't run at all badly here again in better company off a higher mark last month when entitled to need the run. He holds Dealing River on that form and gets the vote as James Pollard probably needs it softer and Silver Lily may need this. Rebel Dancer has claims on his second at Wetherby and Hes Our Lad is better than he showed over further here last month.
