Pyrocumulus never recovered at Leicester last time having been hampered early on. But he had landed a course and distance double before that, though is 7lb higher today. VAN WILDER is progressing well and won a classified race over 6f here in March. That looks stronger form than last year's maiden wins at the track recorded by Charlton Heights, Unnoticed and Luna Mission and he gets the nod. The latter's stablemate Plaisir has a shout on the back of a recent second over track and trip while the unpredictable pair Captain Revelation and Dark War could get involved if in the mood.
