Cavalieri is upped 5lb for last month's win over track and trip while Sinbad The Sailor also scored over course and distance a fortnight ago with Yorkshireman well beaten. But Kempton winner TEMPURAN stayed the 1m6f well enough when narrowly beaten here during the week and David Bridgwater's gelding gets another chance over this longer trip. In Vino Veritas is not badly weighted if staying and has been placed over hurdles before while Delagoa Bay scored over 2m at Kempton last year and can race off a lower mark with Gary Mahon's allowance taken into account.
