Somemothersdohavem has improved for the step up to 2m and has a penalty to contend with as he drops back down a grade. Any Given Dream was a well beaten third on his handicap bow having won a maiden over 1m4f at this track before that while Melodrama landed a lowly handicap at Kempton on her latest start and will find this tougher. Guiletta arrives out of sorts but WELSH BARD was beaten only a length on his belated reappearance and looks sure to do better over today's longer trip. Sir Mark Prescott's charge gets the nod in this company.
