Scepticism has claims on his latest second at the track but Exit Clause ran a shocker last time having gone close here before that. Sweet Alabama also went backwards on her latest start at Kempton but Sweet Vintage and Niknad may both be capable of better than they've shown so far. Silver Fawn could only manage fourth off today's mark last time having won at Kempton earlier so a chance is taken on EYELINE as he steps up in distance after a third at Warwick on his reappearance.
