Den Maschine is up another 4lb for finishing second here back in March and A Little Bit Dusty has done his winning on the Flat over shorter trips. Jalors posted a better effort at Kempton last time but it's anybody's guess what to expect from the likes of Jeer and Ostentation. De Rigueur is a multiple winner in his native Germany but hard to assess on his debut for new connections and the vote goes to ANY GIVEN DREAM, a winner over track and trip earlier this month and open to further progress on his handicap debut.
