KARAVOMYLOS had to pull out all the stops at Uttoxeter to justify favouritism. But he drops down a grade for this and Peter Bowen’s charge can make another bold bid. Stripe Of Honour has struggled since scoring over track and trip in May and also beat Racing Spirit here last summer. The latter finished second at Southwell recently while Rubys Reward was narrowly beaten at Newton Abbot last month and is another to consider.
