Rocinante is taken to score at the main expense of Nod's Nephew, Escalade and How's Things. John Quinn's charge comes here in excellent heart following his success at this track last month and remains fairly treated off a 3lb higher mark so should prove hard to beat. Nod's Nephew is on a hat-trick bid after recent selling wins at Lingfield and Chepstow but will find this a lot tougher. Escalade ran well at Newbury last time and handles this surface so should go well off a fair mark while recent Southwell selling winner How's Things and the in-form Vermilion Creek are others who should be on the premises in a tricky finale.
