EXIT EUROPE had Mallymkun back in third when scoring over track and trip a week ago and has enough scope for further improvement to defy a penalty.

Caledonia Laird remains 8lb higher than his earlier win at Chelmsford; Supersta is getting no nearer and Pickle Lilly Pearl was a disappointment last time having gone close here on a couple of occasions previously.
