Idol Deputy bids for a hat-trick of course and distance wins but has yet to score off a mark this high in 11 previous victories. 7f winner Wink Oliver failed to get the best of runs when runner-up last time and can figure but SHAMLAN is less exposed. The latter went close over 7f here on only his third start and handicap debut and Kevin Frost's charge looks sure to improve. Hercullian Prince was placed when up against similar-rated opposition in a Lingfield claimer last time but Hernando Torres still looks high enough in the weights.
