George Of Hearts is having a first run since winning off a 6lb lower mark at Newmarket in November but will enjoy the going and Cieren Fallon’s claim is a plus. Ballylemon has dropped to a lenient mark when second at Bath. Raised 2lb since, he remains largely disappointing. Moment Of Hope has yet to reproduce his all-weather form on Turf but Gloweth won at Chepstow in June and will handle today’s ground whereas Pledge Of Honour is unproven on the surface and also upped in trip. Ashazuri and Sandyman may also have preferred faster going so we’ll take a chance on KATTANI, who was behind Pledge Of Honour at Sandown but is sure to have benefited from the outing and slips further down the weights.
