Canicallyouback was put 9lb for winning at Newton Abbot last month but almost completed his hat-trick here nine days ago when only beaten a head. Roman Flight reverts to his best trip after a never-nearer second over further at Stratford so goes on the short-list. Owen Na View was tailed off behind Canicallyouback at Uttoxeter last month but has produced better efforts since at Bangor and Killarney and makes more appeal than Easily Pleased and Miss Tenacious, well beaten when second and third at Newton Abbot last time. MINELLA DEFINITELY has struggled to get home over 2m4f in his last two starts but beat a subsequent winner over this trip at Cartmel in May and a return to that form would give him a chance here.
