Smart DJ is upped 6lb for winning a classified race over track and trip three weeks ago and KYLLACH ME is preferred. The latter landed a double over course and distance earlier this year beating Mon Petit Fleur on one of those occasions and is only 3lb higher back on this surface. Summerinthecity continues to slip down the weights but Fossa has not tasted success since winning four times on the all weather in 2013. Captain Scooby won at Windsor last month and can race off a lower mark on the all weather but Fortinbrass is preferred off his current mark.
