Most of these have been in decent form without winning. Lord Murphy is rarely beaten far and is lower in the weights than when last successful here, though is better over further. Dalness Express has only won a Class 7 at Kempton and hasn't run well on his only starts on this track while Black Truffle is 7lb higher than his last victory though Nicola Currie's claim is a bonus. Harbour Patrol has struggled from his new mark after winning here in February but Sir Lancelott has run quite well since scoring over the track and trip and should run into a place. AD VITAM is on a long losing run but he produced a couple of good runs over the trip here in February before finding 6f too sharp last time. He can get back to winning ways in a tricky opener.
