State The Obvious hasn’t been beaten far in a couple of recent starts over course and distance and will probably be backed to open his account again but we fancy LIME STREET, from the in-form Peter Bowen yard, to defy top weight despite having been raised a further 3lb since his Uttoxeter second. Mondello was on a going day when runner-up at Uttoxeter last week but is not one to rely on. Rebel Beat may still have some scope but this will be his first run since March and Tell The Tale and Juste Pour Nous appear to be regressing.
