The lightly-raced four-year-old STANLOW continues to improve. A winner over 1m2f at Lingfield last month, he's fancied to reverse earlier running with veteran Daniel Thomas in this. The latter won a Class 7 event over track and trip last month but has failed to figure in a couple of subsequent starts. Do More Business also won here in between more modest efforts and should be thereabouts, but it's difficult to make a serious case for any of the remainder in their current form.
