Shouranour finally opened his account when scoring at Thirsk but has attempted this longer trip without success on a few occasions already. He's still preferred to his three stablemates while Ingleby Symphony and Only Orsenfoolsies were both beaten off today's mark last time having landed doubles before that. Giantstepsahead is up in class in search of a hat-trick but Lungarno Palace drops down a grade after scoring at Epsom and can figure. WAR POET returns from a lay-off but he gets a speculative vote anyway given he wasn't beaten far when third in last year's renewal and can race off a lower mark today. The unexposed pair Ribblehead and El Beau are others with a shout.
