Broken Rifle finally opened his account when scoring here earlier in the week, though drops back down in trip today carrying 5lb extra. Seaforth has struggled here since winning at Lingfield earlier while Shine On Brendan remains without a win but drops further down the weights. Steal The Scene attempted to make all over track and trip last time but was caught in the closing stages by the placed horses including BANKAWI. The latter has been in the mix under Joanna Mason the last twice now and it could be her turn today.
