None of these can be easily dismissed but Torchlighter is unreliable and Tall Ship steps up in trip for his handicap debut. Grandest sports the same colours as the latter and went close over 1m2f at Newmarket. She's preferred over today's distance to Sandown winner Cay Dancer while Anglophile has been raised 9lb for his recent win in soft ground at Leicester. YENHAAB ran well in a higher grade contest at Epsom last time and he gets a tentative vote to come out best with further progress expected.
