Spes Nostra rattled-up a hat-trick over longer trips at the track early this year but is 7lb higher on his first start since May. Kingscroft went very close to catching Almanack over track and trip last month and re-opposes on better terms while prolific all-weather winner Loyalty is back on a winning mark. Silverware and Berlusca look high enough in the weights at present but LACAN is less exposed. Marco Botti's colt failed to figure in handicaps at Newmarket and York last time but can come good dropping down in class for this.
