Folio has gone up 3lbs for his close second behind Traprain on his first start over this trip at Nottingham last time but, with further improvement to come over this trip, he may be able to defy the rise in the weights with Gallery Breeze and Baie des Flamands rated the main dangers. Street Life would be of interest on his return after an absence, if the rain was to arrive although a better bet may be Parnassian, who ran up to his best here over a mile last time but has got form over today's trip. Scottish River has claims on the form shown here in August but has disappointed since, while Prince Vector is less exposed than most of these and may be open to more improvement. Top weight Wellington Hall has claims on the pick of last season's form but has yet to reproduce that this term and has been off since the summer and of more interest may be Gallery Breeze. Paul Blockley's mare has an obvious chance on the form shown at Ripon in August but needs to put a below par effort at Bath last time behind her, while Baie des Flamands looks to be going the right way and could be of interest. Folio has done little wrong of late though and gets the vote to gain a deserved success.
