Hyson and Idyllic Star will need to step up on their recent efforts and the handicapper refuses to relent with Hallmark Star, who has yet to win. Cape Savannah landed his maiden over a shorter trip here back in February but has failed to get involved in a couple of handicaps since and this looks between a couple of more progressive types in Courtesy Call and BRIDGEHAMPTON. The former was an easy winner stepped up to 2m at Lingfield last time though he can't be ruled out without any confidence dropping back in trip but David Simcock's charge is preferred. He scored in better company at Sandown last month and can make it four wins from his last five starts here.
