Last year’s runner-up Pisanello is 6lb higher this time having won at Hamilton last month when just getting the better of WHAT’S THE STORY. The latter went on to score over a mile at Carlisle though remains on a winning mark and this extra distance will suit. Siam Fox won at Yarmouth on his penultimate start but was well beaten in last year’s renewal while Mostawaa won a lower grade contest at Brighton last time. Tropez Power won off a higher mark on the all-weather at the start of the year while Jewel Maker is also on a winning mark and is preferred to Innse Gall.
