Ferryview Place was placed in amateur company last time and could go well but this looks between the two at the top of the weights. Eastern Dragon is penalised for Tuesday's win at Lingfield and steps up in trip. But a previous attempt at 1m2f does not boost confidence and preference is for ON A WHIM. Daniel Loughnane's charge bids for a course and distance hat-trick off a 4lb higher mark but looks sure to go close again having beaten a subsequent winner on his latest outing and the re-opposing Thrtypointstothree and Quite Sparky earlier.
