What's The Story has been in the mix lately but still looks a shade high in the weights as does Hafeet Alain. United Front has to race off a much higher mark back on the all-weather and Farasi Lane is preferred after going close at Windsor. Lir Speciale has yet to race over this far and the unexposed Parlando makes more appeal than Young Fire but a chance is taken on the all-weather debutant KOY KOY (NAP) given he’s back on the same mark as when scoring at Newmarket last summer - a recent second at Chester suggests a return to form is imminent.
