Playback has shown improvement for a step up to this trip of late and won a shade comfortably at Salisbury earlioer in the month. The son of Revoque showed a useful turn of foot to seal victory and should give another good account off just a 4lb higher mark. Navado has shown ability in maiden company but faces no easy task under top weight on his handicap bow and, along with Barman, is not certain to appreciate middle distances.
