TRIGGERED is rated higher on the all-weather even though all three of his victories have come on Turf. Only beaten a short-head last time at Nottingham, the six-year-old can go one better here.

Intervention has gone up 6lb for winning at Chelmsford and Temple Bruer is penalised for winning at Brighton last week. Media Guest is preferred to Porfin of the remainder.
