Copper Knight has won five times around here including in Listed company and looked on the way back at Doncaster. El Astronaute won this in 2018 and is slowly dropping to a winnable mark while Mountain Peak arrives in top form having landed an Ascot handicap in good style for which he's been raised 4lb. He had twice finished behind Jawwaal at Doncaster earlier but reversed the form at Ascot. WHENTHEDEALINSDONE is a lightly-raced and progressive type who had Twilight Calls behind when scoring at Goodwood. He has a 6lb rise to contend with but Willian Buick rides again and he can continue his progress. Live In The Moment won twice here last summer and made a very encouraging return to action at Chelmsford while Pendleton has won twice here on soft ground.
