The Johnston yard has won two of the last three renewals but Right Of Appeal has shown little in three starts over 6f so far. Belle Peinture finished a bit closer last time but Miss Verdoyante is another hard to fancy on her form to date. BIG KENNY found one too good at Southwell last week but had Sarlat well behind when scoring over a shorter trip here last month. Given the limited ability of today's rivals, David Evans' charge is fancied to return to winning ways.
