A similar high draw did not prevent Cosmic Halo winning last year's renewal and she can race off a lower mark this time round. Jalingo is up 6lb for his recent win at Hamilton but he beat Lord Franklin by over four lengths and can go close again. Both Tower Power and Unex Michelangelo ran shockers last time having won their previous starts while Chapter And Verse was winning on Turf for the first time since 2009 when scoring at Leicester. Duke Of Yorkshire posted a better effort last time but stablemate RIBBLEHEAD is the least exposed and worth another chance after running green when third at Doncaster on his handicap debut.
